Depends what you mean by performance. You can get a good directional 
pattern with a Beverage, and their efficiency is very low. Fine for 
receiving on a band where the noise level is always so high that you can 
afford to lose 10 or 15 dB of signal, and still have the atmospheric 
noise above your receiver's noise floor. Not a good option for 
transmitting..

I use them and I think they're great.
