I have written and presented several times (Dayton, Huntsville and
W9DXCC) a talk called "Building A One Tower Station) that addresses the above
issues. Send an SASE to TOWER TECH, Box 572, Woodinville, WA, 98072, and
I'll send you a copy.
In the talk I do not recommend the big Mosley antennas. While they are
robustly built, their patterns, and hence gain and F/B, are 'soft'; that is,
they just don't have the performance that most people want. On the other
hand, the KT34XA and TH7DX are recognized around the world for their
multi-band performance. Another option are the new Force 12 antennas, they
have a number of things going for them. Anyway, read the paper for
additional info.
