After responding to Frank's message I realized he sent his message to me
and the reflector.  Because of that I'll forward my reply to the
reflector for all to see.

It seems to have about 15 DB of f/b and beats the old Gap Voyager (my
back-up 40-80 ant) by at least 2 - 3 S-units.  I at times have wondered
how well it is working but seems to pass all routine checks.  N0ni (my
home away from home) 11 miles east of here has 3 of the m2 3 el 40s but
even stacked and phased they can't compete with his 3 el full sized at 165
ft. I don't know if it is a M2 design problem or?  But, I'll probably sell
this ant and put up a 20 Mtr monobander or Quad as a companion to the TH-7
stack on twr 1.
