[TowerTalk] 40m beam

[N2TK]

Interaction was my concern too when selecting a 40M beam since it would be
on the same mast as a tribander. I decided on the Force 12 MAG240N since it
doesn't have a resonance in any other band. Went together easy. Followed the
instructions for tuning each element. Seems to work fine.

Subject: [TowerTalk] 40m beam


I am looking for suggestions or comments on 2 ele 40m beams.

I am going to be putting up a Trylon 64ft self supporting tower with a
SteppIR 4 ele beam and would like a reasonable 40m beam.

Interaction is a concern.

I have heard good and bad things about the "new" Cushcraft xm240.  I have
seen nothing on the Hy-gain Discoverer 72 and have hesitations because of
the ownership.  The Optibeams look interesting but are sure pricey.  The
Force 12 Mag 240 might be a player too.  I work phone and cw.

Any comments greatly appreciated.
