It's a nice antenna and I worked a lot of DX  20 some years ago.  It was my 
first and for a few years, my only antenna.

I know there is a slight difference between Canadian and US dollars, but 
that price seems a bit high for something that can be had in the states for 
$35 - $50 depending on brand and dealer.

Since I think  from previous posts, you are running an amp, you may already 
know that you will need a tuner for this antenna and  running high power 
means an external tuner rated  for your amp's output.
