[TowerTalk] Help ID 4 El 2 Mtr Beam

[Jack Brindle]

Look up the Cushcraft A147-4. I had one many years ago - it worked  
quite well.
Cushcraft also had a horizontal plane 2-meter antenna that was  
identical except for the mounting - I believe it may have been the  
A144-4.

Cushcraft and HyGain also had 3-element 2 meter beams that were quite  
popular.
