[TowerTalk] Small Yagi Advice

[Bob Kellow, W5LT]

I would also suggest the 2 element SteppIR yagi, if the 3 element is too
large for your application.
It is lighter weight, lower wind load, and has a <5 ft boom, and nearly the
same performance.

Hello-
    I want to ask for advice regarding the selection of a 3 or 4 element
tribander. I had used for a number of years the Cushcraft A-3 and was
pleased. Since I will have a couple of long VHF antennas above the tribander
I am trying to keep the size and weight of it to a manageable level, whereby
I can still push up the mast.
    I have studied the Cushcraft A4-S and it looks like it would be a little
better than my old A-3, but I wanted to ask about other antennas in this
general category.
                            Thanks, Byron WA5THJ.
