Michael: I recently erected a US Tower MA-770 with a 10 foot mast in the top. I installed a Force 12 XR-5 antenna on the tower. It works GREAT! I don't have a definitive way to measure the F/B or fro
I do agree with the other respondants concerning the comparison between A3S/A4S and 2 element Force 12 but do consider the Cushcraft X-7. It is a fine antenna. K2HK..Howard [Towertalk] Force 12 vs. C
A FULL SIZE 3L20 on a 24 ft boom MAY achieve 8-8.5 dBi gain. That is 6-6.5 dB over a dipole. And you believe the little A3 on a 14 ft boom might have the same gain in 20M? NO WAY. A FULL SIZE 3L20 on

Mike: Also consider the Bencher Skyhawk - 3 elements on 20 and 15 and 4 on 10. Boom is 24 feet long. 73 de Gene Smar AD3F --Original Message-- From: Howard Klein <howk2@hotmail.com> To: mike@hatzakis

Bite your tongue. That book is a bunch more "real info" than some manufacturers want you to see. One manufacturer, seeing the cruel facts about how poorly theirs stacked up, published a pitiful obfus
Michael I had two A3's up on the tower for a few years. I replaced the top A3 with a Force 12 C3E. Haven't regretted it. I've got a C4 in the garage waiting to replace the C3e on top and the C3e will
Have you read the report? It is quite inexpensive. I have read it and passed it on to other guys. Well worth the cost if you want to see how they did their tests and get the results. I don't think t
I ran a Force-12 C3E at 50' with a Hygain TH-7 at 70' and most of the time the C3E was equal to or better than the TH-7. I've used the Cushcaft beams at Field Day many times and they're OK, but I lik
I can kind of the point of the first guy (whoever that is). The report is inexpensive, but hearing about it over and over could get old. Actually, it isn't that bad. You could be on the logger list w
I think this is kind of a bum rap, considering that Steve spends a lot of his time (and some of his money) keeping this list up and running. It's a tremendous resource, and I don't think he's overdon
I don't know K7LXC other than I met him in Dayton and bought one of his climbing harnesses...and of course, from his postings on this reflector. I don't see what the big deal is if he wants to promot
Absolutely. Add me to the list of those who think Steve has many times over earned the right to put anything on here he wants, especially when it's as directly on topic as his antenna shoot-off. Jerr
Towertalk is the only list that I currently subscribe to and I have learned a lot from various discussions. I would like to thank K7LXC for making this available. I also do not see any problem with h
Pete, Please explain WHY you would think a 24 ft boom TH7 would have a higher F/B than a 14 ft A3? It is a well known fact that 2L parasitic Yagi's have relatively LOW F/B (<15 dB, often <10 dB). If
Does this mean YOU would be willing to take the data and publish a FREE Antenna Comparison Report for the benefit of your fellow amateurs? When can we expect the results? Tom N4KG p.s. To what "real
Add me to the list too. VY TNX for this reflector Steve! It's one of the best on the internet. If YOU want to sell your car on this reflector it's OK with me. Thanks again! Don - K4BEV -- StripMime R
