I am thinking about a little more antenna, and wonder what other
people have used successfully on this tower. By successful, I'm
thinking of relatively long-term longevity, wind survival, etc.
K7NV has a TH7 on one AB-577 and a 402CD on another:

I've heard anecdotes from a lot of people, but want to look at wind loading from various antennas/combinations.
