Okay here's the deal,

I would absolutely love to put up a Log P, but lamentably my tower is only
42' to the thrust bearing, and if I put up even the smallest Tennadyne
T-6,
the 38' (2x19') rear element would severely overhang not only the
neighbors
yard, but their house as well. (they are 24" from the lot line.)

My other concern is ice. That is to say, when it ices up (as it will
inevitably do several times each winter) the longer elements could droop
to
the point where they could strike his roof, mine, a nearby tree. (heck,
the
balance between peace among neighbors and a decent antenna system sure is
frustrating...

So, I have to keep it small, but I would like it to cover more than the
usual 20-15-10 devices, and still have some level of performance. (gee,
while I'm at it, let's have it defy gravity, be completely invisible, and
guarantee a 59 copy to even the remotest corners of the globe... but
seriously folks, I need some real life testimonials here!)

I have a brand new TH3JR (purchased 5 years ago) still in the unopened
box,
but I'm thinking 'more bands' would be nice.

I found a local place that has some interesting antennas, but I find few
references to them and their performance on the web. (that's not to
suggest
they are not good devices, heck, they could be a well kept secret little
gem.) Here's a link to the one I'm looking at:

http://www3.sympatico.ca/tgmc/mq-2.html

It's quite compact, and a very different configuration from anything I've
seen elsewhere.

So, what's out there that's small and yet delivers decent performance with
20-17-15-12-10 in mind?

Any helpful firsthand experience passed along would be very much
appreciated!

Thanks!)
