Rich, I was looking at the Hy-Gain TH-11 but I do not like traps. I have considered the EAntenna 59+ (http://www.eantenna.es/)log periodic. It seems to fill the bill for coverage, footprint, and numb
Gary, My choice would be the Yaesu G-2800DXA with a Green Heron RT-21 controller. I originally had a Tailtwister but they are notorious for the capacitor in the controller going bad. As a replacement
Jim, Sorry about that. It is the very large (usually black) capacitor connected across the motor leads (C2). Ideally, this cap should have been located at the rotor rather than the controller. I orig
Howie and Kris, Thanks, so much, for the C4 data. I have a C4-XLD that has been down since 2015. I know that the element tips for the 40 meters reflector need replacing. I am pondering: 1. Adding a t
Jamie, They are NOT the same. I have both and originally had the T2 in a Hy-Gain HD-54HD tower and retrofitted the 2800. The 2800 will now be inserted into a HDX-555 tower. Good luck. OTOH, you could
Tim, Et Al, Golly! Thanks for the update as I am in the process of getting my HDX-555 tower up, after a 5-year hiatus and resurrecting a Force-12 C4-XLD. From 2004 CE until 2015 CE, I had used big Ca

Bill, I currently use the Yaesu 065 on my HDX-555 tower supporting a 4-element SteppIR. I will be putting a 2-element 40-meter yagi above it in the near future. I previously used one on my HG-54HD to
