You should probably check out our tribander comparison report (by N0AX
and K7LXC). It's available from _www.championradio.com_
(http://www.championradio.com) .
I'm not sure what you mean by smaller. Even a trapped tribander has a
good-sized footprint. Smaller than that isn't worth bothering about IMO.

A rotating dipole is a big improvement over an inverted vee or 1/4
wave slopers. If it was me and didn't want a SteppIR, the F12 C4 would be the
way to go - even at 50'.
