Hey all...

DE WQ3Y out of Severna Park, Maryland, USA.  I moved about four years ago but just recently got around to getting my HF station back up and on the air (ultimately to get a BBS going again!).  Our "new" house, much like the old location, is fairly space limited for antennas.  I wanted something low-key without guy-line and the DX Commander Sigature 9 seemed to fit the bill.  I picked it up a few weeks before Christmas and recently assembled it.  I found the directions to be clear and easy to follow, and the Discord support channels are very helpful if you do have a question.  I'm very happy with the performance, although I have yet to need to do any tuning of the cut elements.  It was fairly well tuned as-constructed.  I'll likely live with it as-is and tune when things warm up in the spring as my Yaesu 897-D has an ATU that can deal with the slight mismatch when needed...

Good stuff.  Quality is great and I'm a happy camper now that I'm back up and running after a long hiatus.    

Happy DXing!
