[TowerTalk] Smaller tribander

[john at kk9a.com]

You have already received a number of responses to your post - most seemed 
to suggest using either F12 or Bencher antennas with full sized interlaced 
elements, which are not really "small".  I have used a Cushcraft A3S and a 
Hy-Gain TH2-MK3 on contest expeditions with very good results.    Both of 
these antennas have shortened trapped elements on a small boom.

Hi all

Putting up a 48' tower at the cottage this summer. Looking for suggestions 
on
smaller, but not micro (MA5B, etc) tribander to put up.

I have ZERO interest in WARC bands.

Also, would the experts agree that at 50', there may not be a whole lot of
point to adding a 40m dipole (like the c4s or ta33 with 40m add-on).

I plan to put up my kick-ass MA8040v for 40 and 80, as well as an inverted 
vee
for 80.

Tnx
 Kelly
