I had a 204ba which we converted to a 203 on a longer boom.  Haven't used it
in years.  I think the 203 on the longer boom was supposed to have a better
pattern.  

I am sure there is modeling of it out on the net someplace.

Hello Tony!

Back in the 70s and 80s I used two 203Bas. They worked great.

Simple and straight forward. No problems.

73!

Hello to all, I cannot seem to find much feedback on the 203ba. It seems to
be a very unpopular antenna.The specs are there on the hy-gain page but a
little ambiguous, The max wind rating is 80MPH. Would this be acceptable
wind rating.It weighs 32# with a 16' boom.The M2 20m monobander with a
whopping 34' boom weighs 35#.I would be inclined to think the M2 would blow
apart in 80mph winds.Anyway if anyone has some experience with the hy gain
203 ba I would really apreciate your input. I can't even find a picture of
this antenna anywhere on the net. 73s and god bless.
