I use one here.
my only gripe with it is that it is longer than the diagonal for my yard. Also, if you intend to feed it as an inverted V, you will need to support the feed point up around 40 feet or so and the long end at 15 to 20 feet. One other thing, using a tuner with this antenna will help clean up any stray reactances.
mine is a moderately good antenna for what I use it for. Given the shape of the yard, I had to bend the antenna at the feed point so that both legs are only about 75 degrees apart. THis is not optimal, but it works.
