Don't rule out HyGain. I have had an AV-640 up for 5 years and love it. I do run a KW to it occasionally. I burned up an R7 calling E4/HA1AG on RTTY running a KW on 15 meters. Still need that one! -- Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, jjreisert at alum.mit.edu, http://www.ad1c.us
