The overall rating for the X50A on eHam.net is 4.7/5. The average

rating for the Arrow J-pole is
4.8/5. It sounds like both products are highly regarded.


So the Arrow is rated 0.09 dB higher than the Diamond. That's probably
realistic.

Rather than punching a hole in the roof to accommodate your attic co-linear,
how about the ELK 2m/440 log periodic or Cushcraft A270-6s. A small Yagi is
not so directional that you can't use it for the local stuff while pointing
it yonder for a few weak ones.
