[TowerTalk] C-19XR or Skyhawk

[ac9s at mchsi.com]

I cannot speak for the C-19XR, but I had experience with a Skyhawk a few years ago.  Short story  - my Skyhawk's boom broke in an ice storm that left my near neighbor's Th7s and Mosley beams intact, as well as a Cushcraft D3W mounted above in on the mast.  In addition, all the 20 meter elements had permanent bends, both at the center and at the outermost joints.  I would never put up another Skyhawk up without a boom truss.  It worked well electricaly, but in spite of all the advertising hype wasn't as mechanically strong as the local competition.
