Hank,
Although a single very high 10 meter Yagi is by far the best choice at this
point in the solar cycle, it will be inadequate when strong F-layer propagation
returns.
Three equally spaced large Yagis on a 120-140 foot tower will be far superior
to a single Yagi. Of course, you will need stack switching and the Array
Solutions Stackmatch is an excellent choice.
73!
