 Hi All.
 
 Last fall I bought a used TH-3 and after putting it up was very 
 disappointed to say the least.  I took it  down and put 2 element 
 mono-banders back in it's place.  So far I have one for 20 and one 
 for 10.  They outperformed the TH-3 trememdously.  I use a split DE 
 and put them on a 1/4 wave boom and they have a perfect match to 50 
 ohms without having to use any kind of matching networks.  Being on 
 the West Coast, the F/B wasn't really all that important to me.   
 Two element antennas work very well!!!  73
