WW CW test last weekend. We used the Sigma 5 for a mult antenna when the beam was in use, and we used it extensively on 12 and 17 outside the contest. It worked great, set up about 100 feet from the surf's edge. Easily set up about 95 feet from operating position - had added another 50 feet to the control cable. The Sigma 5 was mounted by holding it up with three nylon lines tied to shrubs and tent stakes. No prolbems, even in the torrential rains of the storm that hit us one day. Did a fine job. Wish the power had done as well; we lost 6 hours to power outages on the island, including the last 6 hours of the contest. Still great fun.
