Hi Tom,

What is the price tag on a DX CC these days? I bought mine for $80 in 1989. 
I bet you can't touch them for that these days. Smile.

God bless,
Mark

Mike:

I can say, without a doubt, that the Alpha Delta DXCC has been the best
40-meter wire antenna I have ever owned!

It's the one I use for our 40-meter round tables, and was the antenna I did
my W1AW/8 operation with two weeks ago.

It's really not up that high either--probably 40 feet at the center.

The antenna also does reasonably well on 10 and 20 meters.

For some reason, it does less well on 15 meters than I'd like, but I think
that may be a factor of my installation here.  To be a bit more specific, I
think it might be coupling on that band either with another one of my
antennas, or something else in the general area.

Overall, though, I'd strongly recommend the DXCC to anyone who is looking
for a good multi-band wire antenna, that is fairly easy to put up.
