That was a quote posted on the Vortex website from one of their testers Eddie,
It is essentially the same antenna using heavy thick wall tube,

nothing about it will make an improvement you can see on your s-meter compared to a Nv4k

I used to DX on SSB for years, first person to work Australia in my area,

27.455 was the call frequency in the late 70's, we moved to 27.525 for a while then settled on 27.555 well before Aldo's Turkeys or anybody else started using it as the call frequency,

You guys hung around on 26.285
My wa10 ssb callsign originates from "Whiskey America" dx club in the USA that operated on 26.285 years ago
