[TowerTalk] Yagi Performance ( Was: Clarification Re: Painting a Roof Tower and Antenna?

[n4kg@juno.com]

QSL on the 5 band TH11 with a Log Cell DE 
and full size reflectors for 20 and 17M.  Too bad 
HyGain / MFJ didn't get their act together sooner.  

I've heard of people using X7's on 17 and 12M
inspite of CC not claiming any performance there.
One American /DU was quite loud on 12M with 
an X7 at 60 ft.

The 5 Band 2L Quad is another very cost effective solution.

There are LOTS of glowing testimonials for the CC MA5B
mini-2L loaded beam on eham, mostly from first time beam 
owners or guys with severe real estate limitations.  BW is
restricted due to loading for reduced size.

The broader band F12 C3SS is another good low profile HF Yagi with 
linearly loaded 20M elements (and full size DE / reflectors on 10 and
15).
