Hi, Brady:

I currently use a Cobra Ultralite Senior at the home QTH.

The antenna is roughly 25 to 30 feet off the ground.

I use it mainly for 80 and 160 meters.

However, I have gotten it to work on 10, 15, and 20 reasonably well.

However, for some reason, I can't get it to work on 40 meters.  The SWR is 
rather high, and the auto-tuner in my Kenwood TS590 will not tune it.

This has been a puzzle for me, that I haven't quite yet figured out.

One thing I have not done yet is try the antenna on the WARC bands.

I hope to get to that soon.
