I have a limited space to erect an antenna system. I have a 50 foot
tower and, unfortunately only a 13.5 foot turning radius.

Convnetional tribanders are out of the question because of the turning
radius problem.

Would the Butterbut HF5B Butterfly  beam be an approriate antenna for my
situation?  Will the HB5B operate any better than an all band vertical
such as the R-7000?

Please do not respond that it is just a dubby load, etc. I too would
like a 200 foot tower and a stacked array, but I have to work with what
I have.

Thanks for your help.

Phil Smith, AA9ZZ
