Fred:

I currently have an Alpha Delta DXCC up at the home QTH in Colorado, and 
absolutely love it!

Sure, it's a compromise antenna, but in my experience, it wins "hands down" 
over the G5RV.

I have had trouble getting it to tune on 80 meters, without a manual tuner, 
and it will not work at all on 160, but really, it does well for me on all 
other bands.

The Alpha Delta DXCC is 82 feet long, which is perfect for the small lot of 
the house I'm currently renting.

The DXCC actually amazes me sometimes, in terms of how well it does, 
although I do have to realize that in Colorado, I have elevation working in 
my favor.

Personally, I'd say the DXCC is well worth the money.

It is the antenna I have used for the Cross-Country blind ops net, when I 
served as net control earlier in the year.

Hope this helps.

Subject: Alphadelta Model DX-EE/DX-CC type parallel dipoles


  Are any of you guys using the Model DX-EE/DX-CC type parallel dipole made
by Alphadelta and if so, what do you think of it?  Could you give me the
length of the antenna and if it was fully assembled when you received it?  I
am thinking of making some changes and I am looking at this antenna.  I am
also interested in any suggestions that you guys might offer.  I have very
limited space and that is why this antenna interest me.  I would also
appreciate what you guys think of the G5RV antenna.  I tried the G5RV but
was disappointed and maybe I did something wrong.  Thanks much,



Best wishes,
