interesting looking antenna for HF/UHV/VHF anybody running this? Curious how sturdy it is and how well it performs on 20 and 40. It's 48 Inches without the HF attachments (10in longer than my current SBB-5 with similar specs but will still fit in the garage). Height would put a few inches above the roofline bumper mounted.. It offers the option of attaching extra coils for HF when desired without the porcupine effect.

Yea, saw a couple posts about "strength and durability of the antenna" that's the main concern since it's on a jeep and all.

 

Yes, durability would be a concern for sure, but what I like about it is that it isn't so darn big like a screwdriver antenna. Screwdriver antennas are great, but are so darn massive, not to mention spendy. No doubt it is a "compromise" antenna, but it looks like FOR THE PRICE this antenna may be hard to beat.
