contests, and working DX but I am not a big gun DX-er and not a top finisher in contests -- so not having the extra element on 10-15-20 is no big deal. However, on 10-15-and-20 it performs better than the three element trap tribander it replaces. If you want to work both ends of 40M with a good SWR, I suggest you add the optional relay box -- I have less than 2.0 SWR from 7.0-7.1 and 7.15-7.3mHz. The switch sits on my desk and the relay activates with 12V. It is so handy, I'm going to add a switchbox and coil for my 80M vertical so I can work phone and CW with the flick, instead of having to physcially adjust the coil length when preparing for the next contest.
