I am currently installing another Rohn 55 tower which will be 100 feet high 
with a 12 foot heavy duty mast sticking out.  My plans are to install a 
multi-band beam for 40 & 30 meters on top.  I can only find two sources for a 
commercially made duo-bander beam that covers 40 & 30 meters and that is 
Force 12 and M2.  Does anyone have any experience with these products or know 
of another source?  My present 40 meter beam is the Cushcraft 2 element yagi 
that works well.  Would it be possible to interface two elements for 30 
meters, using elements from a Cushcraft 402 modified for 30 meters, with the 
Cushcraft 402?  Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.  Many 
thanks.
