[TowerTalk] tri banders vs mono banders

[Ken Eckel Jr.]

Dave,

I'm chasing countries on 12 & 17 as well.  Got 125 each in 15 months using a
Mosley Pro 67C.
Its also a rotatable dipole on 30M.  In same timespan I have about 90 worked
on 30 & 40 each.  WARC bands are sadly overlooked by "most" US hams.  This
is reflected in the fact that the ARRL DXCC has no awards that are WARC
specific.  Some of my total countries worked are WARC bands only.  The
Pro67C is probably not a good contesting antenna but it is a good DX
antenna.  I would say the weakest band on the Pro67C is 15M.  No switching,
one feedline, just point and shoot.  If your a DXer you are surely
handicapped if you are 10 15 20 only.

73,
Ken AB5A
