[TowerTalk] TH-7DXX vs. TH-6DX

[Gene Smar]

Bob:

     Another ten-element triband Yagi to consider is the Bencher Skyhawk. 
It's got the same 3-3-4 element array as the other two you mentioned.  It 
may be a bit cheaper; I haven't looked at list prices for any of these Yagis 
recently.  I've had my Bencher on the air since 2001 and think it's an 
effective, relatively compact tribander.
