I am putting up 90 feet of RH55 this summer but still trying to control
the buget a little. I live at 7200 feet in the New Mexico mountains so
I do get some ice,snow, and wind. I am starting to consider purchase of
a 40 meter beam and there is a wide range of cost on these antennas. I
know high quality construction costs extra, but the price jumps are huge
and I don't want to overspend when good might be enough for my
application. Models I am considering are:
M2 40M3L $993
M2 40M4LLDD $1428
Force 12 Mag 340 N $1989
Optibeam OB4-40 $3655
My primary interest is CW contesting and DX. I am looking for input on
these choices and maybe some others that I haven't considered yet. If
you have input/experience/advice, please let me know on or off list.
Thanks
