Yes, it's a real tough antenna.  It's throw-it-in-the-truck-and-if-people-
stand-on-it-it-don't-matter tough.  And the second colinear 
element gives it a bit more gain, and it's easy to get up in a yurry, 
either duc-taped onto a pole or hoisted over a tree or something.

That is Novice/Trainee Operator Dotcom, who just can't seem to get his CW 
up to 12 WPM, so he isn't licensed as yet.
