I had one here for a few years and it, too, was a waste of time and
energy. I never once used it to work a station I could not hear better
on another antenna. However, others have reported different results.
Try it and see, but don't be surprised if it does not work well.
The very best low noise antenna I ever had was 300 feet of 18 GA pick up
wire nailed to a fence 3 feet high and fed directly with coax, with the
shield left floating. That antenna worked GREAT toward JA until my
neighbor made me take it down!
