[TowerTalk] Tower and antenna decisions

[steve jobes]

Rick I disagree with your statement. As a owner of a Tennadyne T-10 and currently a T-12 your statement is flat out wrong. I swept my T-12 with my rig expert AA-230 analyzer and it was below 2-1  across the 13-30 mhz. range. Not sure what you are talking about, OR WHAT BRAND. But to say mediocre SWR is a false statement.

I briefly looked at log periodics and one thing
that hasn't been discussed here is the mediocre
SWR of LPDA's.  You're pretty much going to have
to use a tuner, and you also have increased feedline
loss.  Might work for some users, but I'm sticking
with my SteppIR antennas (3 of them so far).

An LPDA would however, make a good broadband receive
antenna for a skimmer, if you want to optimize
one direction.
