[TowerTalk] JK Mid Tri opinions

[Robert Harmon]

Scott,

That sounds good Scott.  I remember asking Tom, N6BT, one time about the forward gain vs f/b on his Force 12 Yagis and
as I understood it he tended to scrifice a little f/b to optomize the forward gain.   Thats fine with me.  

I have a JK 402 up now and am very happy with the JK construction.  I'm sure the Mid-Tri will be good also mechanically.  

thanks for the info
