Ham Radio Equipment and Product Reviews Antennas: HF Mobile & Accessories (including mounts)
Mfg and model # = Outbacker Perth 10-80m Vertical Antenna Name = John, Anchorage, AK Call = KL7JR Category type = HF Vertical Antenna (mobile) Rating = 5 Excellent Time owned = 10 years Purchased new or used? = New
Comments = Tuning instructions were simple to follow, and I was up and running in about 10 minutes. In the past 10 years I've used the Outbacker on a couple of vehicles, a boat and several times from my canoe activating islands. Switching bands is easy and fast with the supplied plug and play jumper wire. Over the years I've worked a lot of DX with this antenna, and I can honestly say I never had a bit of trouble with this antenna. I will purchase the new Outbacker with 160 meters in the near future. This is a ruggedly built quality product and I highly recommend it. 73, de Yukon John, KL7JR KL7JR at Yahoo.com

| Comments about the equipment in your own words*:
| I bought this new from R&L in Ohio. The product looks/feels solid. But after 3 months the washers dried and cracked, the set screws rusted, and the others bolts rusted. This was installed in April and started rusting before it saw snow/salt. Jetstream offered to replace it at my expense to return it. I didn't take them up on the offer. I'm sure another one would rust as well. Pay a little more and buy comet.diamond. Thx
