---You are correct, the two antennas you mention are nearly identical.
The Mosely antenna is just slightly better built than the Cushcraft.
However, before you consider either of these antennas, take look at the
three element antenna from Force 12. No loading coils or traps...and can
be expanded to include 40 meters if the need arises. Force 12 makes an
entire line of "butt-kickin'" antennas.

Hello

I'm looking around at some smaller sized tribanders. I was wondering
if anyone out there has any thoughts on the cushcraft a3s beam or the
mosley ta-33. They are both about the same price and I was just
wondering if one is better than the other. I plan to use a cd-45-ii
rotor on which ever antenna I get. Will that rotor work?

My USED TA33 rotated by a CD 45II lasted 27 years in Cal Central Valley until a tree fell on it. It would have lasted another 20 years had it not been for the nasty storm that toppled the tree right on the boom.
