[TowerTalk] antenna choices for K4XS

That is why I gave up - my antennas were not worthy.  I don't have multiple
towers, with multiple wavelength mono-banders or stacked Steppers.  So I
figure that there was little point of continuing regardless of my DXCC
total.

Advice based on the carefully done measurements by K7LXC and N0AX is NOT 
bashing -- it is based on FACTS.

Steve and Ward documented their work very carefully and thoroughly, and 
published it as a bound report. They also did a study of HF verticals. I 
bought both reports. I learned a LOT about both the antenna performance 
AND some technical analysis of WHY things performed as they did.

Joe, W4TV bought the reports too -- that's the basis of his comments.

Go to K7LXC's Champion Radio Products website. About $20 each as I 
recall. And while you're there, also buy N6BT's excellent A Ray Of Light 
book on antennas.
