I actually have NOTHING to speak of in the air.
I've got the tower on the ground. (60 feet of Rohn 25 with a Missle top and
a Ham IV Rotor)
I'm thinking about going with either a C3 an A3S or something of that nature
for the Tribander.. One thought I had, was to go with the C4, and just have it
all on one boom, but that would be the ONLY thing I could put on that tower
then. I'm trying to find a happy medium between performance and wind load..
Plus, I'm trying to get some VHF/UHF stuff up there as well. I may get stupid,
and just add a 3rd set of guys, because one of my solutions was right at 10.3
(It's rated for 10.1) sq. feet and I get everything I want. (Yes, I know.) I
also know that in my area, I seldom get gusts above 50mph.
What I'm most likely going to do at this point, is go with this rotatable
dipole design I've been looking at, and a C3. Then 3 Elements on 6M, 9
Elements on 2M and 20 Elements on 70cm. (All Horizontal), add a 3rd set of
guys, instead of the recommended two sets, and hope for the best.

What else do you have in the air? I very good 40 or 30 m antenna, often
overlooked, is the Gamma matched boom of a high band beam. I Gamma match the
boom
of my 204BA. The 26 ft boom and outside elements resonate nr 40m and works
out GREAT at 74 ft up. I have modeled the array to verify a pattern and gain
performance nr identical that of a dipole.
