Jim,, a Hy Gain 205 BAS is very hard to beat right out of the box. And with 
web sites like YU7EF and G0KSC,, the 205 BA can be optimized even greater. 
But overall, the 205 is very good when operated at about 2 wavelengths up a 
tower. This is where monobanders really perform. Good Luck with your 
choice..Dan N4GNR
