And let me know how you like that Tennedyne HF log.
I'm using the KMA 8-element. How's the F/B on yours?

Pete



F/B is fair on 20 meters. It gets about 15 dB. [~3-5 % of energy in rear lobe]

It is Good to VG on 17 through 10 respectively. It looks like 20 to 25 dB on 10
meters.

That being said, all measurements are called into question because the S meter
is not accurately calibrated, because I'm not at a controlled antenna range,
because the signal source being compared is a variable based on propagation, etc.

Finally, after a significant 'wet' snow fall or ice storm the longer elements
looks like a 7 weight fly rod with a 7 pound trout attached. It is VERY
flexible!! [It quickly de-ices with a little sun though :-) ]

It has survived 70 to 80 mph wind and heavy ice loads. I would buy another one!
