Hi Bob,

I have located a catalogue depicting the original Hy-gain Long John 
monobanders. Dated January 1967 it lists 5 beams.... 204B, 205B, 
403B, 106B and 155B.

As an example the 403B has a 46 foot boom of 4" diameter and 3 full 
size 40m elements with a largest element diameter of 2.5". Wind area 
is 23.6 sq ft and the assembled weight 250lbs. Wind survival is given 
as 125 mph with no ice.

For 1967 these were serious antennas and the 403B lists at $1150.

73, Chris

I note in the same catalogue, the 204BA lists for $119.95 and the TH6DX $149.50
