john,
I don't follow you.
"One cannot dispute mathematics. Gain is a product
of Boom Length."
The boom length of a TH7 is 24 feet. The boom length of a C-31XR is 31 feet.
Therefore, the C-31XR is the better performer according to your mathematics,
isn't it?

And you could put some screen netting like a dxer did who made DXCC#1. Yes
that is what he did and there is nothing wrong with your antenna. Dont get
rid of the TH7 it is one of the best antennas out there even with all the
hype of the so called unscientific tribander report. Save your money. The
TH7 will outperform the c-31XR.
This debate has been going on since the 1960's. Stay with your TH7.
Dont get caught up in all this novelty stuff. The people who push these non
trap antennas go by what is in that tribander report and like i said an
unscientific one at that. One cannot dispute mathematics. Gain is a product
of Boom Length.
