[TowerTalk] An easy question for the experts on this list

[Robert Morris]

Think it's just the way my brain works. 
I listen to guys at the club running out to buy Buddi Poles and that Iso loop whatever and think they are headed for Honor Roll.

My first thought is how can I make it. And yes, I've spent more money building than buying, but had fun and leaned something.

Better? Unlikely, but much easier to put up and it's strongest point is 
he already has one.
Performance would likely be pretty much equal long haul. Not great 
compared to one of the big Yagis but when six is open you can work the 
world on a wet noodle.
I had excellent results with just an AV640 with a few openings during 
this past quiet period, but I believe it's now suffering from an 
inability to handle near as much power as they say. <:-))

Which makes little difference out past a few hundred miles.
