--Hi, all. I am thinking of venturing into the world of 432 Mhz (SSB/CW comms). For the owners/users of this antenna, what is your overall opinion? It really seems to fit the bill as far as boom length (I don't really want over 15 feet of boom length, and the 719B is about 13.5 ft.) and the price is towards the maximum range of my limits. So, how does this antenna perform on 432.100 Mhz (give or take). I am guessing it assembles much like other Cushcraft yagis. Eham.net gives it a pretty good rating, so that is of some help. Thanks for any opinions.

--I found a better choice in the M2 432-9WL. To heck with my "15 feet or less" boom restriction. More gain too. I think I will like this antenna.
