Mike,
I have a Trylon 72 foot with a C31XR at the top and 8 feet above that a
402CD for 40.  On a 80 foot tree I have a 3 element SteppIR.  I find I use
the SteppIR much more than the C31XR.  Signal reports between the two are
fairly even however I like the 1:1 with the SteppIR regardless of what band
I am on.  Great antenna and as has been mentioned before, you will not find
better factory support.

Now, as a continuation of this thread, I want to put up a 30 Mtr monobander
on another tree at around 65 feet.  Any suggestions out there for the 30 Mtr
antenna?

Tnx,

Roger, W7VV

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.

Mike
