No big stick or silver rod but may work
The older design seem more like the Shakespeare BigStick or he Silver rod. Which I loved.
I haven't used it enough to give a good review. Friends tell me this one will run all over the place with just about any tuner and about a meg in a half of range if tuning rings are adjusted correctly. Seems to tune. I am not sure its as efficient as the for mentioned antennas? I will update my review in a few months. I will mount it somewhere between 18-30 feet depending how much my mast flex's. Right now I'm putting up at 20 feet to keep it away from my roof. Read full review...

very good ant for amateure radio
Well I have had two of these antennas before one of them is still up but is full of water if I would have been able to take it down a couple of years ago and re coat it would still be ok. have not put the new one up bad weather caught up with me. but I am sure it will work just fine I set the rings at the top of the settings and it tuned up on 6 ,10 , & 17mtrs. with less than 1.5 standing wave; I love them Hebie K9UZZRead full review...

Still a good ole antenna
A classic legand, they don't seem to make them quite as good as the original. A bit rickety, poor soldering in spots, definitely needs paint. Nothing that can't be improved if you spend time. Still a 5 star product.Read full review...

New Solarcon A99
I’ve owned a A99 when it was a Antron 99 back in the day. Almost 15-yrs. I’ve recently got a brand new (Solarcon) A99 I’ve noticed it just doesn’t talk out as good. If, they have changed something to restrict it. They need to go back to factory in the day. Now take into fact I’m working with brand new coax lmr-400 still turning & tweaking it. But, I’m getting great receiving. Is it radio-no. I’ve narrowed it to antenna or coaxial. Good luck & I’m looking for more feed back from others to on Utube. I’ve only seen one other complaint about the new one. Says (Solarcon) right on the side of the Antenna. Aka: The new Solarcon A99.Read full review...

This is the one to buy!
GREAT antenna! Easy to setup & install. Well packaged. SWR was almost flat (1.1 or less) across all channels with default tuning ring setting. Well made.

Not Ham Quality!
The end was not crimped right so the pl259 receiver is crooked! I have Owned better ones in the past. However I have read a few reviews were the buyers had the same problem I do with the Coax sticking out at an angle. Haven't even used it as I do not trust the inner workings were put together with any sort of Quality! I won't resell it because I am an honest person and wouldn't want someone else to fry their equipment. They won't accept a return and why would I want to exchange this one for more Shotty craftsmanship. The real kick in the nuts is it claims it was " Made in the USA" ! With the Increased Price, and American made I Expect much better Quality.Read full review...
