[TowerTalk] Antenna wars

The booklets are well done - I got one for verticals and was well pleased.
It helped me make my decision on the vertical that I ended up buying...

an antenna and I'm enjoying the various opinions. It would  be
interesting to compare those opinions with the specs...

You want real measurements? N0AX and I spent a lot of time testing HF  yagis
and verticals on the air and compared them to a reference antenna.  The
results are published in a couple of books available from
