[TowerTalk] Discoverer 7-2 or Cushcraft xm-240

[Grant Saviers]

A another choice is the W6NL scratch build "110mph Moxon". Particularly 
if your site is challenged with wind or ice.  K6KR and I together built 
two and I acquired one for a 2x2 stack from K7ZSD. It costs a bit more 
(15% if you are buying the antenna to be modified) to build the scratch 
design and a lot more time, but an excellent antenna results, RF and 
mechanically.  K3LR has a stack of these also.
