Subject: RE: [TowerTalk] 40m beam
Mike,
I have a Trylon 72 foot with a C31XR at the top and 8 feet above that a
402CD for 40. On a 80 foot tree I have a 3 element SteppIR. I find I use
the SteppIR much more than the C31XR. Signal reports between the two are
fairly even however I like the 1:1 with the SteppIR regardless of what band
I am on. Great antenna and as has been mentioned before, you will not find
better factory support.
Now, as a continuation of this thread, I want to put up a 30 Mtr monobander
on another tree at around 65 feet. Any suggestions out there for the 30 Mtr
antenna?
Tnx,
Roger, W7VV

Subject: [TowerTalk] 40m beam
I am looking for suggestions or comments on 2 ele 40m beams.
I am going to be putting up a Trylon 64ft self supporting tower with a
SteppIR 4 ele beam and would like a reasonable 40m beam.
Interaction is a concern.
I have heard good and bad things about the "new" Cushcraft xm240. I have
seen nothing on the Hy-gain Discoverer 72 and have hesitations because of
the ownership. The Optibeams look interesting but are sure pricey. The
Force 12 Mag 240 might be a player too. I work phone and cw.
Any comments greatly appreciated.
Mike
