Keep in mind, with the Titan, I run one and 40m and up it's really decent, like it a lot. 80m works great for DX, but not for lower 48 rag chew, you need a nice low wire for that. I'm adding wires all around the yard and the Titan still gets regular use depending on the propagation conditions.

A lot of people simply don't read the instructions or have a fundamental misunderstanding of the Titan and screw them up. I put mine up by the letters and the whole thing tuned up in spec right off the bat. A few guys have these whole web sites to slam the Titan and yet they have pictures of clearly misassembled antennas in their documents...it's pretty ridiculous... For an antenna stuck on a pole 6' off the yard, I like it a lot.

It's very similar to the crowd that won't RTFM with the Yaesu FT-2000 that have given that awesome rig a bad rep.
