From talking to the GAP people at the Hamvention and seeing a demo of the Super C on 20 meters, it is obviuos to me that it is a narrow band antenna system that requires re-tuning and component changes between bands - just like a high Q loop or CFA. For multi-band, multi frequency use, I do not consider it useful for amateur use unless you put up a separate antenna for each band and some sort of remote tuning device. I have found that for my purposes, a 33 ft wire and an SGC anteena coupler works well on 160 through 10 using me aluminum roof motorhome and two 33 ft counterpoises as ground.
