First Choice for HF EMCOMM
Posted by K7SFA on 20th Dec 2020
I have several antenna designs for portable EMCOMM and QRP use. Unless I'm restricted by available space considerations, this antenna is by far my first choice to use. It's simple and quick to set up by one person and it is the most effective portable antenna I've found, especially when operating QRP portable.

Works great in spite of site limitations
Posted by Len KC3OND on 10th Nov 2020
I wanted to get on 80 meters without having enough space for an 80 meter wire. I have only 90 feet but Brian felt I would still be able to reach 80 meters by letting the two ends drop down 15 feet. He was correct!
I followed his suggestions to use a Paradan Antenna Disconnect for Twin Lead going into two coaxial cable center connectors to bring the line into my shack and an MFJ-993b tuner.
The antenna is a simple, but elegant and well engineered system. I couldn't be happier with both the products and Brian's support.

Super Star Antenna!
Posted by Unknown on 20th Oct 2020
I put this antenna up and used a dxengineering 6:1 balun with it. It works great on all bands and I have been knocking down the required countries remaining for 80 meter for 5BDXCC! Thanks for a GREAT product! Ronnie W5SUM

Excellent QRP Antenna
Posted by Rosario DiPeri on 26th Aug 2020
I bought the 80 - 10 meter version.
No loading problems thanks to the 4:1 balun.
Top quality construction, and design, give maximum power out for QRP operation where every watt counts!
Great customer service.
This is the best antenna I have ever used in my forty years as a ham.

Lowest loss = More power out!
Posted by Pat on 19th Jan 2020
True ladder line fits into my low loss philosophy of antenna systems. I am impressed with the no splice construction and rugged unique insulators. This combined with my balanced tuner allows even my QRP signal to be heard while others lose more than my finals put out.
Thank you for a fine product.

Excellent Antenna!

I took this antenna out of the box, and I hoisted it up between two trees in a state park for field day. With an MFJ auto-tuner, my Icom 7100, and a pc, I made over 200 FT-8 contacts across the bands for our club! Love these products as much as the service from this company!

Works as advertised
Posted by Josh Rovero on 27th Jul 2019
Sturdily constructed and very light, so it doesn't sag excessively between end supports (trees, for me). Matches easily on all bands 80 - 10 meters.

Great antenna
Posted by Al on 1st Aug 2018
I lost my 75ft tower and Steppir to a tornado. I needed something I could get up quickly. I had never tried open wire feed. This antenna is well made and worth the money. I added a 4:1 balun and got the antenna up 60ft in the air. I have used it on all bands 80-6, and it is a great performer. An open wire fed non-resonant antenna. No more unbalanced resonant antennas for me. In the month and a half it has been up, I have WAS on two bands, DXCC and WAC with this antenna. Plus, 16 DXCC On 6 meters. This antenna was a great surprise to me, and my first experience with open wire. The tuner in my ICOM amp matches all bands except 30m. I use an MFJ tuner for 30, and no problems.

Outstanding antenna for a great price
Posted by Mat G on 17th Apr 2018
I was looking for an easy to put up, yet quality antenna and I found that in the True Ladder Line antenna. It was easy to put up and it gives very low SWR when installed correctly. I have had no issues with it, even through winter snow/ice/rain storms. I highly recommend this antenna for HF work!

10-80 W7FG Very well made
Posted by Unknown on 23rd Jan 2018
I can only say good things about the W7FG.
I run strictly balanced tuners on 80. This antenna lends itself well for this. The antenna had held up well in a couple of heavy freezing rain days in Ontario Canada. It is well made and was simple to intall.
This design us absolutely the best for low band.
I will be buying another product from this company and I will recommend it to my friends
