Every antenna has maintenance problems. Bad/shorted traps, damager baluns,
elements falling off the boom, plastic parts failing because of UV light,
ect. Mine's been up 3 years without a problem.

Tennadyne T-12, probably.
The 4L SteppIR is a better (gain) antenna but I've already heard of five
motor failures and I suspect I'll be hearing of more over time. T-12 has no
moving parts, no traps, no coils, nothing to fail unless elements break and
I've never seen that happen.
The F-12 model 5BA is a very good beam, I don't know if the "new" F-12 still
makes it.

If you could put up only ONE antenna to cover 20 to 10 Mtrs (including
WARC), what would you select ?
The antenna will go on top of an LM-470.
Thanks for any suggestions.
