Really impressed with this G5RV, very well built, just had to connect the 300 ohm window line to the feedpoint and seal it up then hang it up and plug it into a auto tuner. I was delighted to see the tuner find a good match on every band easily, even 6m, as my previous G5RV used to struggle with 60m, 30m and 15m. It is up at 30ft with a 4ft hang down on one leg and a sharp bend in the other leg. I live in a heavily built up area so noise is a problem always but this antenna seems to be a better receiver and also transmitting then my previous antenna which was a Carolina Windom. Yes, I am very pleased with it.

It works well at 80, 40, 20 and in parts of 10 m. It looks well made, but I'm a little worried about the strength of the grip of the end insulators of the dipole. Only a centimetre of wire is left after the clamp. It worries me that it can easily get away in stronger winds. Overall a good product for its price.

This is an excellent antenna, very well made and excellent value for money. Most amateurs have wires to construct this antenna but if you priced up the parts for constructing one, it would cost more than this antenna on Ebay. That was the reason why I bought this ZS6BKW instead of making one . I wanted to compare a ZS6BKW to my Windom antenna.. I found I could use it on most frequencies without an antenna tuner and it compared favourably to the Windom. I have been an amateur for 58 years.
