I had the 704 and it was absolutely the worse purchase I ever made. They
forgot to add all the aluminum (elements) for the warc bands and insisted they
did and made me give up the 40m parts so I could get the aluminum I paid for in
the first place. Once up it was a mediocre performer at best, poor F/B,
intermittent SWR and it did not last more than 4 years in our Indiana winters
and winds. My personal advice is stay away at all cost.

Hi, does anybody on the list have a Sommer XP504 or XP704 with the 40M
option?
Thinking about getting one, would like some opinions.
