Hi Jeff,
I've had the shorter version, CLP-5130-2N since they first came out. I wouldn't recommend it for serious DX work but it may fill the gaps on a lot of bands until you get up larger antennas. On one very good tropo opening I was able to rag chew shortly with W4ZRZ in AL(who has a very good station) on 222 FM using this antenna and a 35w rig! Because I have other antennas up now, just today I am adding a preamp to it for use on TV.
It is a well built antenna, which you would expect for the price, any should outlast many tv quality antennas.
Stan, W8MIL

Hi Jeff,
I can report on my experience - I did the QST review nearly 30 years ago. I sold mine back then to Stan Horezpa WA1LOU (the FM Columnist for QST - and I think he still has it).
It comes with the SHF section preassembled which is great.
The coax clips (holding the coax away from the boom) will become brittle after a decade of sun.
My primary use was on 50-432 -- and it was a good compromise antenna for the boom length.
The performance at 903 or 1296 is mediocre (8-9 dbi) -- again it is directional, so that was a plus but a better gain antenna would make sense at the upper frequencies unless you are perhaps just using it for casual local activity or monitoring.
I actually have one that I am not using -- if anyone is interested I'd sell it shipped CONUS for $285.
