I have only had my DXCC antenna up for a few months, but it works 
great on all bands it should work on.  It's durable and I hope to 
get many years of service from it.  Jim WA6EKS

Mike:

I can say, without a doubt, that the Alpha Delta DXCC has been 
the best
40-meter wire antenna I have ever owned!

It's the one I use for our 40-meter round tables, and was the 
antenna I did
my W1AW/8 operation with two weeks ago.

It's really not up that high either--probably 40 feet at the 
center.

The antenna also does reasonably well on 10 and 20 meters.

For some reason, it does less well on 15 meters than I'd like, 
but I think
that may be a factor of my installation here.  To be a bit more 
specific, I
think it might be coupling on that band either with another one 
of my
antennas, or something else in the general area.

Overall, though, I'd strongly recommend the DXCC to anyone who is 
looking
for a good multi-band wire antenna, that is fairly easy to put 
up.
