I have had a MAG 20/30/40 up for abt 2 years before
moving back to Norway. It is a complicated antenna
and one not easy to tune.

I had the 40-2CD up before. That one performed better
but was mechanically weaker. Cushcraft used piecparts
that were not good enough for a humid and windy place
as Denmark.
The Mag gave no mechanical problems once it was in
place. The performance was not as good as the other,
particularly F/B was not very impressive. This may
have something to do with the tuning process, which I
found complicated.
Lack of support from the factory did not help. This
was when Nathan was less involved, so that part may be
better now.
