GE,
When I posted my question earlier I did not want this to become a debate as
to the pros and cons of my Mosley. In fact I considered not mentioning it my
name except that I wanted everyone to have all the facts.
I am well aware of the writings concerming this and other yagis on the
market. And I know that this antenna is being asked to do a lot considering
its size. And I recognize that it is just about 1/2 wavelength high thus
contributing to what effect its surrondings have.
This antenna perfectly fit my requirements when I put it up and continues to
perform exceptionally well, even with its "minor" 40 Meter issue. The
increase in my country count over the last 6 weeks has been amazing...on all
the bands covered.
This is the second Mosley at my station. The first is a TA-53M @ 43 feet on
a seperate tower. If I was to do it over again, I would not hesitate to
choose exactly what I have.
For those following my original post, today I dropped 1/2 of the 160 low
dipole with no change.

Not sure what your hangup is about Mosley (if you 'dis it, at least spell
the name right),
but saying in general that they have less gain than a dipole is really
stretching your
credibility.
I had a PRO-57A for many years and I can attest it worked better than a
dipole. But,
so far, all I read is talk, with no facts presented to support your
comment.

Thanks for all the responses...
Before investing any more time and money in the Moseley, I STRONGLY
suggest that you buy and study the report by N0AX and K7LXC on a dozen or
so tri-banders, including two Moseleys. The executive summary is that
they
were VERY poor performers -- like less gain than a dipole at the same
location and height, and over the same path. Order the report from
K7LXC's
website.
