Warren (verified owner) –
My antenna arrived in a strong posted tube.
Pulling it out I found that all the components are high quality stainless steel. From appearance its as well made as my old Icom AH7000 Discone.. Very easy to assemble.
It works well. It receives FM broadcast stations as strong as my external mounted FM antenna.
