[TowerTalk] C4XL vs. TH-6 (Wilson SYS-36)

[John Langdon]

There is an upcoming C51XR with a 40M section, but I know no details beyond 
that.  I have not heard of anyone loading the C31XL boom.  The C4XL has a 
broader front end (more cardiod like) than the Wilson and less front to 
back, but a smoother pattern with fewer strange side lobes (I have only 
used one Wilson, this pattern stuff may have been unique to that 
installation).   For contesting this can be a plus, for DX, maybe, maybe 
not.

You will not see any fall off compared to the Wilson on 20-15-10, and the 
40M section of the C4XL is roughly equivalent to a Cushcraft  2 el shorty 
forty. I can say it performs much better on 40 than the Wilson.  I don't 
think you will be unhappy.

Hi all....Have checked the archives and found little.....purchased the
tribander comparison......but still feel a little hesitant abt going from
the Wilson Sys-36 (TH-6) to the C4XL.....Wud really like to see the C31xr
with 2 el on 40m.......
 Anyone out there replace a TH6 with the C4XL or the C31xr give some more
input besides what I have found so far?  I am currently using a Wilson
Sys-36 @ 95' and a TH6 @ 60' (fixed),the antennas are nearly
identical....Can I load the boom of the C31xr like I have my Wilson. ie 
N4KG
????

Just not sure if my gain will be good $$$ spent going to a new 
antenna......

Any input will be deeply appreciated....
