Comment... While this antenna is designed for the four amateur bands at 28 MHz, 50 MHz, 70 MHz and 144 MHz, it would also make an very good receive antenna for the low VHF bands. It should have similar gain and front to back figures for say 40 MHz, 60 MHz or even the broadcast band at 88 to 108 MHz.
Looking at the website, the VSWR at 40 MHz and 60 MHz looks as if it is in the region of 1:1.7
The product can be found on the company website at http://www.joachims-gmbh.de/detail_blatt/LP028150S.html
They also make other models which cover different frequency ranges.
The LP045150S covers 45 MHz to 150 MHz.
The LP045500S covers 45 MHz to 500 MHz.
The LP049073S covers 49 MHz to 73 MHz.

Hi John
Just wanted to let you know about another LP covering Low VHF: model LP028150S by ANjo-Antennen, Germany (http://www.joachims-gmbh.de/detail_blatt/LP028150S.html).
This may be of interest to our European friends (continental shipping). I have seen his stand at European rallies, quite impressive with loads of antennas mounted on alu masts.
73, Phil
PS: I have no personal / commercial relationship with this company, just for info.
