I bought one of these about three weeks ago and I love it. I DO use it on the ground. (Actually about 2 feet up as suggested.) It works great. I live in Tyler, TX -- 90 mi east of Dallas -- and the first weekend I gave it a good workout I had contacts in Italy, Senegal, Brazil, Argentina, and others. I got it because of antenna restrictions in the neighborhood. It sits up about eight feet, and my fence is eight feet tall, so no complaints so far. My next step will be to take it with me on our next RV trip. I did buy the stand, so I will try it just using that to see what happens.
