    I'm decommissioning my home HF station. I purchased the subject antenna new from GPS Central and installed it in 2020. It's used of course but operates like new.  It kept me well entertained during COVID.

    ZeroFive makes a tank of an antenna.  With all the wind we see in the area over the last few years, she's comes back true as an arrow and has never needed repair.

    I operated it with ground radials off a DX engineering radial plate.

    It works great... for a vertical with a shack autotuner ... and didn't let me down for my purposes and expectations.   Advertised to include 80 and 160m, but not for me with a shack tuner... I didn't pursue better on those bands.

    During COVID I achieved the ARRL Worked All States (FT8) in a few months.  My longest contact on FT8 was South Africa at ~100W.  That was a hoot.

    This antenna new is $700 USD (~$1000 CAD) plus shipping from USA.

    My starting price is $450.
