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.
