[TowerTalk] Small Beam Opinions

[N0OEL@aol.com]

Hi Scott!    I have been asked the question of what to put on a chimney many 
times
and let me pass along my my best choices for Minnesota type weather:

Hygain TH3 or TH3Jr
Butternut HF5B MiniQuad  (tough to tune but works)
Mosley TA-33Jr
Cushcraft A-3

Dont know which bands you intend to work or what surrounding trees or 
buildings you have (helps protect from windload on the mast on a light 
mount).   Use the 
antenna with the least windload for light installations and take a hard look 
at what kind of low band work you will be facing.   I have seen all of the 
above used 
under various situations.    Price and windload.......and gain........its 
your call!
