Hi all Putting up a 48' tower at the cottage this summer. Looking for suggestions on smaller, but not micro (MA5B, etc) tribander to put up. I have ZERO interest in WARC bands. Also, would the expert

The F12 C3S (25lbs on 12ft boom) does a great job. If you do put up that 40m dipole at 50ft, I'm willing to bet that it will often outperform the vertical. 73, Barry N1EU ____________________________

I like the Force 12 XR-5. I have two in a stack. Single feedline and you get good performance on 12/17M. Works for me. Also you might consider the Skyhawk. 73, Jamie WB4YDL Hi all Putting up a 48' to

Kelly: I'm not sure of what you mean by "small." However, someonse else suggested you look into a Bencher Skyhawk. I have had mine up on my tower since 2001 and have posted several times recommending

I actually put up the Skyhawk on AD3F's recomendation, plus reading the information on Bencher's website. I have no frame of reference, since this was my first HF beam, ever. It doesn't play as my qu

suggestions on smaller, but not micro (MA5B, etc) tribander to put up. You should probably check out our tribander comparison report (by N0AX and K7LXC). It's available from _www.championradio.com_ (

I have had a Cushcraft A4S up at 60' for many years. Never a problem and always a solid performer. Took it down once when I moved and replaced trap caps etc. Back up for 7 years and works flawlessly.

You have already received a number of responses to your post - most seemed to suggest using either F12 or Bencher antennas with full sized interlaced elements, which are not really "small". I have us

And alternatively Tennadyne T6 log periodic: $500, 20-10 meters inclusive (including WARC, and some users have had good results on 6M), 12' boom, weighs 37 pounds. 5+ dbd gain, 6+ sq. ft. wind load.

Another option I can recommend is a TGM mini-beam. I use one of these at only 25' AGL every year for CQWW-CW in Toronto and I'm very pleased with its performance. Small, lightweight and with a tiny f

And don't forget, you don't have to worry about "tunning" an LP. If you can live with 2:1 SWR and the turning radius, considering the price and mechanical and electrical spec's, and the fact that it

I would vote for the Tennadyne T6 also. The SWR on the last T6 I used in Botswana was 1.3:1 across all bands. One coax for 20 through 10 meters. It will also work on 6 meters. No ATU required. The bo

Well if that is the case why were signals so poor from some of the last DXpeditions? Yes the location more rarer the better the signal report. Charles F. Frost Frosty K5LBU frosty1@pdq.net I think yo
