[TenTec] Help Selecting a Directional Antenna

[Carl Moreschi]

I have a Tennadyne T8.  It has performed extremely well for 12 years.  There
are no traps or motors or anything to go wrong.  The antenna covers 14 to 30
mhz very well with a good front to back ratio and has been maintenance free
all this time.
