I'm making a stab at starting a new thread here, as decision-time is coming
up for me. I'm erecting a TX-455 crank-up upon which I plan to mount an
as-yet unpurchased HF beam, with my existing 5-el 6M yagi 8-10 ft above it.
I haven't yet decided on the HF beam. My criteria are: 1) compact profile,
in the ballpark of 18-22 ft boom; 2) reasonable performance on the 12- and
17-meter bands in addition to 10, 15, 20; 3) light-weight but mechanically
robust (I live in a windy area). 4) I plan to feed it with 9913F coax (good
stuff), and I have a good tuner, so extreme broad-bandedness isn't a top
priority.
I'm leaning toward a Force12 C3E, but am willing to consider any other
alternatives recommended. What do y'all think?
