That V-Beam is a nice antenna for trans-Atlantic dx, isn't it?

I'm very pleased with the performance, especially on the higher bands. I was initially considering some sort of phased array of verticals for Europe, but fortunately ON5KQ talked me out of that, and suggested the V Beam instead.  Glad to hear it is still working OK after winter, I know the 58 ft T2FD needs some work, the noise levels are high and I suspect a broken wire. But it's been either too brutally cold or too rainy to do any antenna work.
