The 14AVQ is probably one of the oldiest trapped vertical still in the market, but I can surely state that It's still
the best one. If you give a look to other HF vertical's reviews you'll hear other hams talking about fused traps, dummy
loads, bad swr etc etc. Whit this antenna you can load all the power you need very safely in a very wide 1.5:1 swr bandwidth.
Best install configuration will be to put the antenna not on the ground but on the roof, about 40 feet up and with two radials for
each band. In this configuration the antenna will probaby outperforms many triband beams mounted at low height.
All in
all this is a good vertical !
Below are some photos of this vertical on location in the country side while carrying some tests :) enjoy !
