I have used this product for many years here in Central Florida. The only problem I have seen was some overload due to 3 stations with-in 3 miles all running 5 KW. But since they drop to 1K/37 and 50 watts or so at night it was no problem. Since the 1KW went silent, the antenna has worked perfectly.
I have also sold several of these to my broadcast customers.

Lee,
I have used an LFE H-800 for quite some time with good success. I
had to replace one vertical element the victim of south Florida
lightning -- the inside box was okay -- and did not consider not
doing so. As soon as I get my act together I'll send the damaged
unit to LFE for repair and then enjoy two H-800s. I use the H-800
for HF as well, so a second one will eliminate some conflicts.
I have no facility for any sort of wire antenna. Instead I have the
H-800 and an LFE M-601. I use that antenna combination with a
Quantum Phaser. Unfortunately I can't offer any comparison with a
wire, but I can say the H-800 works very well with a phaser.
