I am currently replacing my C31XR with a Sommers 807. I do not have it in the air and will keep you posted as to how it performs. I plan on doing a comparison between the 2 beams. Any ideas on how to do this with the changing of conditions that may happen between changes would be appreciated.
I will tell you the beam is very well made, and Alf will give you very personal service and insure you are completely happy.
I have never done a comparison of this magnatude and I need all the ideas I can get. My first thought is to use ground wave between several of the great DX stations near my QTH, N4ZC, N4PQX, W4MQG etc.
