Tak-tenna model 40 HF Antenna vertical or horizontal Rating =
5 Length of time owned = About 2 years plus Purchased new or used =
NEW Recommend it? = Yes, Highly recommended! Customer service
experience = Yes! Comments = I was one of, if not the first, to review
the Tak-tenna on the internet. You can search for the review of it on
Google or see the complete review here on
Hamuniverse.com. It does exactly what the mfg stated it would do and I
had a blast using it. Most of the time I forgot how small it was when I
was having so much fun on the air with it. I would highly recommend it
for anyone with very restricted space limitations for hf antennas. It
makes a fine multiband antenna when used with a simple tuner and within
it's design limitations. 73 Don N4UJW

Comments
about the equipment in your own words*:
EZ-wire,
it's an antenna 16 (about 35 yards) meters long. It does not need
radials or ground connections, but I have a ground connection. Full
coverage of all HF bands from 160m to 10m. Max Pwr 1KW, Max SWR 1:3
EZwire works well on several configurations : Horizontal, Vertical,
Sloper, L and Zig-Zag, mine is a sloper. EZ-wire is perfect for
limited space. It works very well with my Alinco DX-R8E with an
MFJ-941E.
