Bargain Too.

Depends on whether you believe the manufacturer's claims.

I was under the impression that this was for lab testing functions for engineers in the RF field but I have yet to figure out if it could be used by hams, practically, on FD or whatever. We do generally make our own radiators on the cheap, mostly.
The ad did turn up in the CB section. Go figure.

It's supposedly in MD, but that's a short jump for any [strike:2wo8slo9]conniving[/strike:2wo8slo9] smart operator. Like a certain Rice Krispy Extree.

Hard to believe anything in that box would outperform a $5 dipole at HF.

It is a log-periodic for laboratory testing. If it's anything like the ones my employer uses it has a special amplifier to level out the frequency response (receive only) so it does 1MHz to 1GHz therefore I don't believe the published frequency response of this one even with extra elements. Perhaps at least some zeros and a "k" have been omitted somewhere.
