[TowerTalk] Hy-gain 40M

[Mel Martin]

I'm a big Hy-gain fan... present antennas are a 105/155/205 and a DB1217 and
until recently a TH7 (great antenna!)...

The only Hygain antenna i don't like is the 40m...
I had it up as a 3 el at 150ft... performance was first rate... but
unreliable as hell... had it up and down the tower countless times for
repairs... finally changed it to 2 el... not much difference in
performance... but lost that in the ice-storm of '98. I wouldn't put up
another!  Next one will be the Optibeam... much better bandwidth...

Others seem to have had more success...

Good Luck & 73...
