This is getting a bit off the original question which was:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Was going for the Mosley PRO 67B or C but received alot of negative comments
about them. It appears my best solution for 40 meters to 10 meters maybe 2
beam antennas - one for 40 and one for 20 to 10 meters - comments? Any
experience with the M2 3 element 40 meter mono bander and M2 17-30LP7 Log
Periodic (no 20meters). Also maybe a Tennadyne T8 or T10 above the 40 meter
3 element beam on the 60 foot guyed tower. Thanks Russ

When you compare a tribander at 80 feet to a 2el at 40 feet you need to
indicate the band being worked. There is quite a bit of discussion in the
ARRL Antenna Book comparing Yagi antennas at various heights above ground,
and why some work better than others depending on location in the US.
If you want the best of all worlds, you will need to stack antennas. Your
tribander stacked with your 2el might be a possibility albeit an unusual
one. I think it can be modeled using EZNEC.

Glad to hear it. Excellent compared to what? For what purpose(s) was the
system designed for? Does it meet or exceed your design expectations? If
you are saying excellent compared to dipoles at 30 to 60 feet or a
commercial no radial vertical I can understand that. If your goal was to be
king of the band during the early/late hours of an opening or to cover all
the angles for a contest, then excellent is gonig to be a relative term.
My tribander at 80 feet works well too, but sometimes my 2 element yagi at
40 feet works better. I can guarantee that the same antenna at 120 feet
would be superior to AS/OC from my place as what I have now. It all depends
on what our goal/needs are. 73 bob de w9ge
