Sure seems to work well at my QTH, and others I've talked into trying
it have been very pleased with the results. I'm putting up a second
PRO-57A soon, and plan to load its boom as well. Makes a great 40m or
30m antenna for the cost of some feedline. Seems to radiate very well,
and has good side nulls too. Beats every 40m wire dipole I've ever used.
