[TowerTalk] Mosley Beam Questions

[Eric Moore]

Hello guys,

I'm looking into upgrading my station in the spring and realizing Mosley's
long lead time, I will order it know to have in plenty of time for a spring
installation.  I currently use a TH-3JR. and really have to be careful with
my power output.  I have a SB-220 amplifier.

I am undecided between the TA-53-M and the CL-33-M-WARC.

My questions to the group are:

1. Which is more important, forward gain, or front to back ratio?

2.  Should I sacrifice gain on 17M and 12M for better front to back ratio?

3.  Is there another 5 band beam I should consider other than Mosley?

4.  Any other thoughts.

5.  I am aware in the long lead time and are not concerned, as I am also
familiar with the Mosley quality.

I will be mounting this at around 35' and can accommodate around 15sq. ft.
I
should minimize the number of elements to keep the XYL happy, but are open
to any suggestions!

Thanks,
Eric
