I have a TH7DXS at 72 and and a A3WS at 78 feet. With 80 MPH gusts and
sustained winds often in the 50's and 60's during the winter here on the
ocean the elements move around a lot - have not had one break or bend yet in
the 13 years they've been up.

Interesting information Jim. If I were in the market for a tribander I
would definitely buy the K7LXC report. One potential problem with
interlaced beans is that there appears to be little room for side mounting
them on a tower. I also wonder what happens when they are used in a windy
environment and the closely spaced element move around.

## heres the latest from F12. 20-15-10 all on barely a 10 ft boom.

## heres the latest and greatest..with booms shrunk by 30%. The old C3,
xr5
etc line up has been upgraded to the newer format.

## BTW, I see n6bt wrote an entire section on trapped yagis in his book,
array of light. . Turns out I was correct. By encasing the coils with
AL
tube, the coil Q drops down to just 20-30.
feed Z rises to close to 50 ohms..cuz of the excessive losses by the high
esr
of the low q coils. He mentioned that one maker of trapped verticals
used a
ceramic core to wind the coils on,
so it would handle the extreme temps.
## He also mentioned about HF yagis using the T match...and the 200:50 ohm
coax balun. Several of them had the main lobe canted off to one side by
20
degs ! The fix was to replace the T
match with a conventional hairpin setup. He did not mention the brand, but I
suspect it was telrex... the only co I know of that used a T match. Why the
lobe ended up skewed 20 degs to one
side is beyond me. He mentions fixing several of them.
