Thanks to all who suggested the tribander comparison book. I ordered it and
will read it closely. However, most of the antennas covered are larger than
I can swing, so I'm interested in hearing about the smaller tribanders.
What I have so far is:
KT-34A: Good performer but difficult/time consuming to assemble and
maintain.
C3: Has the most votes/testimonial, thus far.
TA-33: Lower gain than C3 and KT-34A.
My impressions prior to posting are:
TA-33: Build to last and low maintenance.
A3S: Small, light, easy to erect.
Looking at the Force 12 Web page, I can't find the maximum element length
for the C3. I'm guessing it's around 35-36'. Does anyone know?
