In a little over 4 months of owning a gap voyager I have worked on 160 meters: 31 states and 3 countries So does it work? Yes Is it as good as a 1/4 wave vertical with 10 miles of radials? No Is it better than a dummy load? Yes Is it the best antenna in the world? No It is a compromise antenna. It works for me. YMMV WO4R Jeff
