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. 73 Rag LA5HE OZ8RO JW5HE _____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
