Jim et al:
Although the Bencher Skyhawk isn't resonant on 17 or 24 M it does load
on those bands with a tuner. I have worked a fair share of folks on both
bands with mine. However, I believe the directivity is reversed on 24M
because the first 20M (or is it 15M?) director acts like a reflector on that
band.
