Pat, Could you tell me how the coax is attached to the twinlead and how
long is the twinlead?  Also, approximately how long is each leg of the
antenna.  Where did you purchase the antenna?  I really appreciate you
response to my e-mail and I might be back in touch with you for more info
if you don't mind.

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.
