[TowerTalk] 40 Meter Yagi

[Doug Renwick]

Hi,
I junked my Hygain Discoverer and replaced it with the XM-240. The linear
loading wires near a bend at the end would keep 'breaking'. Keep in mind the
XM-240 balun is a piece of junk. The rest of the antenna is good value.

Hi all,

Another nice 40m yagi is the Hygain Discoverer-2 (2el 40m). The nice thing
is they are expandable to 3 elements with a lengthened boom. I have a pair
of them I hope to stack in the near future. They are very reasonable used (I
picked up both of mine for $300 each locally).

The Cushcraft 40CD2 (now the XM-240) seems to play well. I've had one for
almost 30, starting out on a city lot, and it helps a lot.

several references to a 'shorty 40', but when I look on the web all I find
is an old Moseley design. I don't want to re-ignite the Moseley wars, but I
would be happy if someone could point me at an a 40 meter beam that might be
able to fit on a city lot.
