Gee - funny you should ask. The report N0AX and myself wrote did just
that. We compared a dozen tribanders on the air and reported the results. The
report is about 80 pages of protocol, data sets and summaries. Available from

What state and county? Just want to check the TIA-222 rating (also on the
Champion Radio Products website under Tech Notes). You need the info to see
if your tower is capable of handling that antenna load for your windspeed
rating. It is. It's one of the basic design parameters.
