Harvest Out 250B (3.5-57 MHZ) HF/6M Base Station Radio Antenna

Easy to put together. Works OK on 40 and 20 meters with my radio's internal tuner. I have to use my outboard tuner to match on 80 meters.

It does everything mentioned, except transmit properly. 3by3 is tops if you're lucky. Don't waste your money. It won't let me give it a one-star, so I was forced to select two stars: not worth it and very disappointing. A beautifully built antenna, but it's limited to receiving. NOTE: I tried different coax cables and tuners, and the internal tuner on my ICOM 7300 worked the best on all bands mentioned 1:1 swr. So not sure what's going on.

I tried the antenna as shipped and was unimpressed woth its performance. I added a good quality UNUN bypassing the sort of matching unit at the base. I then ran about 15 feet (5 meters) of wire on the ground side of the UNUN and got better resuts. For an emergency antenna it was passable, I do use it with my winlink server as I modified it did completely connect with pactor II and pactor III. My original intent was for winlink use. no,, you probably not work SSB dx, but weak link digital aomms on a small lot I could be an answer.

Antenna works very well on all amateur bands within its' frequency range ( I use a Yaesu FT-450D with a built-in antenna tuner). Antenna tunes up fine with less than 1.5:1 SWR on my meter. Have made many contacts primarily along the east coast with good signal reports.All and all I am quite pleased with the antenna. It was very easy to assemble....best to have a metric tape measure handy (as all directions are in metric and will require some minor conversion calculations to American Standard. I am pleasantly surprised how well it preforms without having to manually to adjust each band on the antenna and at the height it is mounted above ground (only about 18')

Worst antenna I have ever used. After two months I noticed SWR increasing across ALL the bands. After five months, SWR was well over 3:1 and antenna is unusable. Requested a return from seller and got an answer by email in five minutes... no return. Period.A thorough analysis revealed no issues to the base of the antenna. Coax was brand new 213 U/E with water tight connectors and solder and mastic to prevent water entry to any point at the SO 239. Dummy load confirmed with a 1:1 that the only problem was with the antenna.It is most likely a faulty and/or unsealed matching unit, and I suspect that water has somehow gained access to it and is causing the issue. Now that the seller won’t honor a return I guess I will disassemble it and see for sure.I should have invested the money in a comet and gone with a trusted name. If you are trying to save money, do just that and don’t spend it on this antenna.

Showed up box was damaged contents not damaged. The inner package had been opened as well no directions for installation. Usps has had the package since Friday. Not real happy but its here ill install iseing Google or utube

recived signals from7 - 500 mhz not bad

This thing has to be the worst antenna I have ever owned. Does not transmit well and on receive it is consistently 4 S units lower than my 40 to 6 meter Off Center Fed Dipole. It does tune less than 1:1.3 on all ham bands from 160 meters right up to 6 Meters without using an antenna tuner and works ok for local comms but is pretty useless for anything else. Also it really bends over when the wind blows it is very flexible to the point I wonder about is longevity. I really cannot recommend this item to anyone.
