Gang,

I had a 3 el Create 40 meter beam on a 36 foot boom sold by a California firm 
but the beam was made in Japan.  The coils were wound with aluminum wire.  The 
beam sat on top of the ower until I decided my lower wire antenna worked as 
well.  I bought the 2 el Cushcraft 40 and never looked back.  Several locals 
bought Create Tri-Baners and they seemed to work well. I asked one KB4J and he 
never looked into the coils and he sold the beam when he moved to South GA at 
retirement.

Stay away from the original Create beams made in Japan.
