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.
