Curt, NU7R, points out how good OMNIs are to use on crowded bands. I agree.

However, some hams have pointed out over the years on this reflector that they have had trouble with OMNI VI's BDR when very nearby contest stations are running a kilowatt or more through major antennas. In that case, apparently, the Yaesu FT-1000MPs survive better--perhaps why they are the standard rig in multi-multi environments. I don't have any such problems, so this is not a concern.

Obviously, the ORION front ends are bullet proof.

73,
John, W3ULS
