Being the little kid on the block with my 1st yagi, from Mosley, I though I'd
add my $0.02 worth.  Since I have a small city lot I purchased the Mosley
TA33-JR-N-WARC.  It took a little longer to arrive than I expected, but it
arrived with all the parts, a set of fair instructions.  Everything was
predrilled and color coded.  I read over the instructions twice, sat down ad
had the antenna together in a few hours.  Got it up on the tower and put the
meter to it.  Here is what I got:

    10 Meters - 28.000  1.5/1        15 Meters - 21.225  1.4/1
                       28.300   1.0/1                           21.300  1.1/1
                       28.450   1.1/1                           21.450  1.1/1
                       28.600   1.3/1
                       28.900   1.5/1        20 Meters - 14.175  1.0/1

14.250  1.1/1
    12 Meters - 24.930  1.2/1                             14.350  1.6/1
                       14.990  1.2/1

     17 Meters - 18.110  1.1/1
                        18.168  1.1/1

The FT-1000MP handles it all with ease.  I'm basically happy.  But, can
understand the frustration that some of you are having.  It's happened to me
with other things.

73 and I hope everything works out.
