I have their MQ-26 beam - 2 elements / 6 bands.
pros: small turning radius, 6 bands, acceptable diagram @ 15 and up
cons: would not handle full power, the diagram @ 20m is almost circular,
20/15 bandwidth is not good, especially @ 20. SWR minimum goes way off
under the rain.

I am thinking either to upgrade it to MQ-36 or to replace it with Cushcraft
MA5B which is much better on 20/15/10
