[TowerTalk] OWA Yagis was 40m 4el KLM - replacing linear loading with coils

[Jeff Blaine]

A 3 element beam puts the feedpoint near the center and likely within 
grasp for a bit of tweaking from the mast.  I view it as the right tool 
for the job.  An OWA is a good pick for the wide band HF.  And it is not 
a good pick for WARC.
