Force 12 C-3SS is a good choice also. For 3 bands, 10/15m is 2
elements full size, 20 m is 2 shorted elements and a rotary dipole
on 12/17.



Only 26 pounds, 12 ' boom and 24 ' longuest element. Small but very
performant antenna.



A bit more expensive. No heavy traps but a lot of aluminium tubing.

I am thinking it may finally be time to replace my old tribander.
Based on size, weight, mast size and power handling capability, I
found two popular models that are good candidates. Looking for
comments and comparisons between the HyGain TH3MK4 and the
Cushcraft A3s.

John I would try to put up an HF beam that also covers 17M and 12M
as
well
as 10, 15, and 20M These are great bands.

Is the Cushcraft MA5B too big? Covers 12 and 17M as 10, 15, and 20M

Hi:
I have the Tennadyne 6 el Log periodic antenna. Covers 13 to 30Mhz with
an SWR of under 2:1. It has a 12' boom and the longest element is 38'. No
traps or any other trickery and weighs 37lb. I've had it up since 2002
and have worked DXCC on all bands and have about 1500 band countries.
Which means nothing in reality as it's more of a mark of my persistence
than antenna performance. The fact is the antenna performs just as the
specs say and it stays up even with 1/2" of ice. I would look carefully
at this antenna if you are looking for an all band high performance
antenna.
