[TowerTalk] Tennadyne T7 DB Gain Question Summary

[k0bx@qsl.net]

First I want to say thank you to all that replied to my question.  I got a real education and some very helpful information.

1. It is hard for me to believe that the T-7 antenna has a gain of 6.2dbd.  My Hygain 4 element monobander 204BA is only rated at 6.0 dbd.  So maybe I should junk the 204BA and get a T-8?

2. From the comments, it looks like the T-7 will work in my tower space.  It will work about as good as a TA-33jr as for as gain and FB.  This is about what I want and expect.  I will get the additions 17/12 meter bands which is a big plus.

3. There were a lot of very good comments.  But I do not have a bunch of money, I don't live on a big farm, and I don't have a big tower.  I just need a replacement antenna for the Hygain DB10/15. One that will fit in the same spot.

Thanks again for your comments.
