I am thinking of replacing a Mosely Pro 57b,which has been quite
trouble free since it was put up 5 years ago,with a Srike Force-5BA.
According to the available data this has a claimed gain improvement
of about 2 dB on most of the bands. The boom is only slightly longer
(33 ft. vs. 28 ft.) and the wind area is the same at 11 sq. ft. (This
BTW I find surprising given that the 5BA has 15 elements and the
Pro 57b only 7.) Any comments pro or con? Is it worthwhile making the
switch (the Pro 57b is at 80 ft.)? Anything to watch out for?
