[TowerTalk] Change in SWR

[john at kk9a.com]

I have no idea whether your Mosely performs well for it's boom length.or 
not.  I have not read the N0AX/K7LXC report, however I believe that the 
antennas were assembled to the manufacture's specifications and tested 
fairly and as accurately as possible. Working a lot of countries is no 
indication of an antenna's performance.

GE,


When I posted my question earlier I did not want this to become a debate as 
to the pros and cons of my Mosley. In fact I considered not mentioning it my 
name except that I wanted everyone to have all the facts.

I am well aware of the writings concerming this and other yagis on the 
market. And I know that this antenna is being asked to do a lot considering 
its size. And I recognize that it is just about 1/2 wavelength high thus 
contributing to what effect its surrondings have.

This antenna perfectly fit my requirements when I put it up and continues to 
perform exceptionally well, even with its "minor" 40 Meter issue. The 
increase in my country count over the last 6 weeks has been amazing...on all 
the bands covered.

This is the second Mosley at my station. The first is a TA-53M @ 43 feet on 
a seperate tower. If I was to do it over again, I would not hesitate to 
choose exactly what I have.

For those following my original post, today I dropped 1/2 of the 160 low 
dipole with no change.
