I used one that a friend brought along for us on ZS1RBN several years ago and it still required a matching unit. I couldn't say how it performed compared to the 5RV, but the figures look good on paper. As with most wire antennas on dxpeditions, you rarely get the things at optimal height; come to think of it, neither can I on my home station, hi !
