A/B comparison between the dipole broadside to Europe, and TA33 with a
rotator. People who sell trapless beams make the same claim. Remember, this
is the JR, with small traps, too short a boom, and element lengths that have
been fudget to get a very nice 50 Ohm impedance with no matching network of
any kind. (Or there is enough resistance in the traps). Front to back and
front to side are also very poor.

I got comments from G and DL stations who all preferred the dipole.
Receiving, the difference in favor of the dipole was huge ( several S units)
on an HA.

Replaced it with a full power beam on a 14 foot boom and hairpin match.

Please describe how you measured this gain.

Whatever it is, you may not want it. I measured the gain of a TA33JR on
20
m, and it was less than a dipole.

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