Well, mine plays GREAT at 150 feet.
The problems have been mechanical, not electrical.  But, since I added a =
Phillistran truss, it's been up in the air solid for 3 years.

  Anyone using this Antenna, Force 12 EF-180C 75/80 meter rotatable =
dipole and at what height are you running it at. Local F12 Dealer put =
one up a couple of years ago and had a real unpleasant experience with =
it. Could not get the operating bandwidth of more than 25khz before VSWR =
went out of Spec. Since he lost so much time tuning it, he wants no part =
in selling me one. He has done a lot of work for me and what he has sold =
me worked real well. Gene K2QWD  =20
