[TowerTalk] Optibeam OBLY14-5

I have no experience with that antenna model but log periodic antennas in
general with a hot boom require special attention to avoid feed line
radiation. OptiBeam has great designs and service so hopefully Tom has
addressed this however you should ask.

I'm considering the Optibeam OBLY14-5 for a new antenna.



Anyone have experience with or comments about this antenna?



My goals are:



5 Band - 20, 17, 15, 12, 10M performance with performance equal to at least
a 3-El Yagi on all bands.



No traps or motors.  Single feed.



Under 150lbs and less than 23 square foot wind load.



Rugged construction.



Cost:  Under $2,500
