[TowerTalk] Please Help Me Decide on a Tribander or Monobanders

[n9lah at comcast.net]

Thanks, Bob. I was going to mention the XR5 as well. It has been an outstanding performer for me at 55 feet on a HDX-555. When I get fed up with the U/VHF SSB stuff they will probably go and get replaced by a 2 (at least) element beam.

one more option 

Force 12 XR-5 interlaced 20.17/15/12/10 on top of the mast. 

2 element 40 8 feet below 

or the 40 on top instead
