I'm considering putting a small tribander on a roof tower. The roof peak is at about 38' and I plan to use a 5-6' tower (Create or Glen Martin). This is the best I can swing given my aesthetic constr
True, that's why I specified the KT-34A (rather than XA) in my original post. The boom is half as long. 73, Jim -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/towertalkfaq.html Submissions: towertalk@cont
No problem. Well, if you can put it up, it should really get out. I've heard lots of good things about the performance of the KT-34XA. It's bigger than I can consider, however. 73, Jim AD4J To: <towe
Thanks to all who suggested the tribander comparison book. I ordered it and will read it closely. However, most of the antennas covered are larger than I can swing, so I'm interested in hearing about
Thanks for your comments, Pete. The C3 appears to be the consensus favorite. My main concern with it is aesthetics. Having full size 20 elements, it is bigger (in one dimension) than the others and a
Thanks, Mike. It looks like this might be the best choice. I'd be interested in comments from anyone who has tried the C3SS. - Jim AD4J -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/towertalkfaq.html Subm

Thanks, Dave. My only concerns about the KT-34A are the initial assembly time and difficulty along the the maintenance level required. What has been your experience? - Jim AD4J -- FAQ on WWW: http://
I've heard very good things from several people about the durability of the TA-33. Can anyone comment on how the Force 12 C series would compare? I'm in Atlanta, so icing is a rare occurence. We do g
Thanks for your comments, Bob. I'm sold on the Force 12 antennas. Now I just need to see how large my wife will tolerate :-) My choices are the C-4S, C-4SXL and C-3SS in that order. - Jim AD4J -- FAQ
Thanks for the tip, Jan. I'll look into it. My impression has always been that LP's were bigger than tribanders for comparable forward gain. -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/towertalkfaq.html
