> Better than 3dB and no stinkin' radials? Sounds good!!
Sounds good until you watch it free wheeling in the wind.
Sounds good until you have fixed your linear loading wires for umpth time.
Sounds good until you have replaced the rotor 3 times and finally settled
on a prop pitch that you have to be an engineer to install and fix.
Sounds good until the hurricane/t-storm/blizzard knocks it down.
My point being... It takes a crazy like W9JA/NQ4I/K4ISV to put up a full
sized 80M rotary yagi. That is one big antenna. I'm just crazy enough to do
it, but thank goodness I put up the 4-square first. I'll just have to
take gas I guess.
On 40 there is no question. Buy the 402CD and be done with it.
