Fred,
I have used the Mystery Antenna for the past three years or so and
have been pretty pleased with it. The twenty meter performance is
better than the G5RV I used to have, but the new installation is
better as well, so the comparison may not be valid. It works well of
forty and reasonably well on seventy-five. Above twenty it does well
although I've not used it a lot on the higher bands, although ten
works quite well.
All in all I believe you would be pleased. The antenna is at about
thirty-five feet, quite straight, and there is perhaps fifty feet of
coax after the twin lead.
Hope this helps.
