Hi Larry. Don't sell the Cushcraft A-3S short. I had one up for many
years and it was a very good antenna. I was like you, looking for
something small, kind of a compromise. When I put the A-3 up I was very
well surprised and pleased on its performance. There have been a lot of
them on DX-peditions that did a very good job. I finally replaced it with
a couple of mono-banders when the cycle bottomed out. 73 and have fun
