Hi Nick!
I have to say I am most impressed by the Outbacker Outreach, with 5w I could work
all the stations I could hear ...
I also take a full size G5RV and ATU with me, but not all camp grounds lend
themselves to stringing out a large wire antenna, this is where the outbacker comes
into it's own, small footprint and works a treat !
Cheers!

I was in Australia back about '94 and while in central Queensland saw a
number of vehicles that were commercial in nature. All were running some
variant of the Outbacker, mounted high on the front crash bars ('Roo
bars to you VK's). Seems that there was a definite preference.
I have never used one but would not let the opportunity go by if
presented with a real deal...

On the Elecraft list recently a couple of postings didn't rate the
Outbacker much at all, especially when considering its price. Just
goes to show how subjective people's opinions of antenna performance
is, I guess.

Hi David !
I was surprised how well the Outbacker Outreach and Alpha Delta
Tripod worked,
I have to admit it's nice to try a friends one before I buy
one !! :)
This weekend was the first time I'd made contacts across the pond
using the FT817, so
I guess the Outbacker had something to do with it as well :)
Cheers!
