I'm considering putting a small tribander on a roof tower. The roof peak is
at about 38' and I plan to use a 5-6' tower (Create or Glen Martin). This is
the best I can swing given my aesthetic constraints. I'm interested in using
the yagi for DXing and domestic contesting.
The question is which tribander.
I've looked at the KLM KT-34A, Cushcraft A3S, Mosley TA-33, Hy-Gain TH3 Mk4
and Force 12 C3 series choices. Do any of these antennas perform
significantly better than the others? If not, I can easily make a choice
based on other considerations. However, if one has significantly better gain
or directivity, I'd like to know. It's hard to make meaningful comparisons
based on the manufacturer's claims for gain, F/S and F/B.
