[TowerTalk] Antenna Recommendation

[Jack White]

I like many others was in this situation.

After weighing up the pros and cons for what seemed like an age ie: price, performance, wind load, reliability, resale value should I upgrade, longevity and strength etc, I settled for Optibeams.

I'm incredibly happy with the Optibeams , light years ahead of the Cushcraft, Hygain, M2 etc I've had before. There are many Optibeam(s) that can fulfil your needs.

I still like the idea of Steppir and Ultrabeam type antennas, I just couldn't make the financial leap, they're incredibly expensive for what they are IMO (approx $3500 USD for 3L Steppir/Ultrabeam in the UK)
