I also have a pair of Optibeam antennas (OB16-3 and OB2-40) that have been great. They perform exactly as specified with no extra tuning, and they have held up to the horrendous wind gusts that regul
I understand all the rave about trapless antennas. I have one too, a trapless tribander with 3 elements on 20m, 3 elements on 15m, and 4 elements on 10m. And I have purchased Steve's comparison rep
