You have already received a number of responses to your post - most seemed
to suggest using either F12 or Bencher antennas with full sized interlaced
elements, which are not really "small". I have used a Cushcraft A3S and a
Hy-Gain TH2-MK3 on contest expeditions with very good results. Both of
these antennas have shortened trapped elements on a small boom.

Hi all
Putting up a 48' tower at the cottage this summer. Looking for suggestions
on
smaller, but not micro (MA5B, etc) tribander to put up.
I have ZERO interest in WARC bands.
Also, would the experts agree that at 50', there may not be a whole lot of
point to adding a 40m dipole (like the c4s or ta33 with 40m add-on).
I plan to put up my kick-ass MA8040v for 40 and 80, as well as an inverted
vee
for 80.
Tnx
Kelly
