Thanks Steve
I thought Tom had one but could not remember. Looking for suggestions. I
have a vertical, still interested in some type of wire.

John,

Tom KB8TYJ  had a Radio Works compact 160 and had  trouble with it 
several times and finally just took it down.   The problem was water 
getting into the balun (or matching  unit, I forget which). Someone else on
this list from across the pond also had water problems with a Radio 
Works antenna.   If you read e-ham reviews for their products, you will 
see it isn't a rare thing.

If you live in the desert, they may be great antennas, but of course you may
wind up with sand inside it.

73, Steve KW3A
