Mike, I am using one of those antennas here on 80 through 10 
meters.  It's 82 feet long which works fine on our property which 
is a rather small lot.  I am impressed with the rugged 
construction though I wonder about the fact that they use solid 
copper rather than stranded copper wire.  I can't give you any 
scientific stat's on it, like comparisons with other dipoles, but 
I like it.  I also use a Cushcraft vertical on 20 through 10 
meters and switch between it and the DXCC antenna.  It seems to 
depend on the  distance from stations, and general band 
conditions which antenna works best at any given time.  Anyway, 
that's my 1.5  cents on the DXCC antenna.  73, Jim WA6EKS
