Lots of glowing recommendations for both Optibeam and JK. I am really
liking the look of either Optibeam's OB4-40 or JK's 404c (Both are 4 coil
loaded elements on 40).
One of those would then be paired with an Optibeam 16-5 (4 on 20,17,15,12
and 8 on 10).
Anyone have any thoughts on that? I like the looks of the flat SWR over
the entire 40m band provided by a 4/40 dual driven beam.
Hopefully it's becoming somewhat clear on what I'm going for here. I'll
hopefully have a decent little pistol (cap gun?) contesting setup that can
effectively chase DX.
Thanks again,
