Sure seems to work well at my QTH, and others I've talked into trying
it have been very pleased with the results.  I'm putting up a second 
PRO-57A soon, and plan to load its boom as well.  Makes a great 40m or 
30m antenna for the cost of some feedline.  Seems to radiate very well,
and has good side nulls too.  Beats every 40m wire dipole I've ever used.
