[TowerTalk] HyGain TH-11DX

[Bill Winkis]

Had a TH11 at 120 feet and on 20 meters it pretty well played with a 4 
ele -  44 foot W2PV at 100 feet...... I then brought it down to 100 feet 
and it played well on all bands..I ended up replacing it with a 12 
element Tennedye Log and never looked back...
