I received the antenna here in Nevada after resceduling the DHL delivery plan from the 13th of October 2026 to the 2nd of October. The antenna arrived on time and was in excellent condition. RF-DXing had done an outstanding job in packing and preparing the shipment for a trip half way around the world. Thanks a bunch Deb!! The antenna is now up and operating although I haven't had a lot of time to explore all its capabilities. So far signals have been great in both transmit and receive. The build went very well although I would say it might be a good idea to update the assembly instructions to reflect the particular model I had purchased. Specifically, maybe redo the photos since they were a bit skewed and a little difficult to read. However, that did not create any problems for the build process. So all-in-all I am very pleased with this antenna. I think it was a wise purchase. Additionally, the quality of the engineering and components is also quite outstanding. Accordingly, I would expect the antenna to hold up very well in this extremely harsh southern Nevada desert climate.
I have been using the RFdxing 5-Band Cobweb antenna at my QTH in Janakpurdham, Nepal, and I am very pleased with its overall performance.The antenna is installed on the rooftop of a 4-story building, mounted on a 30-foot mast. Despite its compact size, it has performed remarkably well and is a very practical antenna for my urban QTH, where space is limited and larger antennas such as a Yagi or full-size dipole are not always practical.
After tuning, I am getting very good SWR, generally around 1.2–1.6 on most bands. The antenna also has a relatively low noise level at my QTH, making both SSB and digital-mode operation enjoyable.What I particularly like is its real-world performance. I have successfully made QSOs with amateur radio operators in Italy, Finland, and many other countries. These contacts have been a great way to experience what this compact antenna can achieve from my location in Nepal.
The antenna is also well balanced mechanically and easy to mount. The supplied documentation made the assembly straightforward, and Deb has been extremely helpful and supportive whenever I needed assistance during assembly and setup.
Overall, I am very satisfied with the RFdxing 5-Band Cobweb antenna. For amateur radio operators living in urban areas with limited space, this antenna offers a compact and practical solution while still providing excellent on-air performance.
Highly recommended for operators looking for a space-efficient HF antenna.
