[TowerTalk] TH6DX Comments

[Wes Stewart]

 I had a TH6 at one time.  I tore it apart and used the tubing to make a 3-3l 20-meter monobander.  I finally retired that and went with an Optibeam OB7-3, as seen in the opening photo of my QRZ page.  It's been up 10 years now without a hiccup.
I use a foldover tower with limited weight allowed on the top when folded over so this lightweight antenna is desirable. It can also be put up in two pieces which allows me to separate the boom and fold the top of the tower almost to ground level for cable or rotor maintenance.

 Thanks. I read the manual, looking past all the hype in it, and read
some reviews. It seems like a decent antenna that I could put up. It
has 2 elements per band on an 18' boom though, compared to 3/4
elements per band on a 24' boom with a TH6. I think a TH6 would
perform noticeably better, and might be more durable as well if the
hardware has been replaced with SS parts as was done on mine.
