Hi Anthony;
I was very enthused about the gap titon until I looked at e ham and called
the company.  When I told them I lived in western NY they said I should plan
on four support ropes each at least 16 feet from the antenna.  They said not
to bother with one or two it was four or none and four ropes along with the
antenna may be a bit much.  How easy was assembly and particularly tuning?
Some people on e ham suggested that the manual left a lot to be desired.
With all those reservations in mind, it still sounds like a nice all purpose
antenna.
Rich
