What is the smallest commercially made beam that covers 20 through 10?

Traffie HexBeam - model HX5 covers all five bands in that range.

Mark,

I bought the Hygain TH3Mk4, which is about the size of the A3. It is a

WHOLE
lot better than the Junior. I think this guy is looking for stuff that is
smaller yet (than the 33JR).

Another indicator is that if the antenna won't take full power, it has

lossy
traps. I finally burned out a trap on the 33JR by running a KW into it.

The
comparison to the dipole was done before I burned out the trap - somebody
once asked me...

I don't know how much power you are running, but your A3 and a linear

would
give you more ERP than any antenna improvement you could make. I had spent
about 1/2 hour trying to work Ducie Island barefoot. Finally gave up and
turned on the linear; the guy came back to me on my second call!

Yeah....those EIMAC antennas really do work.

No brainer. The 2 element Quagi Mini Beam from TGM in Canada. Great
antenna. Check out the solid 5 rating on eHam.

I believe it is but the old one was during my QRT time so I am not familiar
with it.
