IMHO the 34 and 36, if restored to original working order, are a much better
choice that the "pro" models.

Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] 10 throu 20 beam traps or no traps
Actually, I was mistaken - it is a Mosely Classic 36. I went out and spread
everything out, measured, and verified in the manual this time.
Something tells me that the answer is the same... :-)
I've currently got a well installed 6BTV and a 20m EDZ, and those two
antennas have me at 115 countries in about 18 months, and primarily digital.
In other words, they've done a good job for me! I'm just looking to achieve
that watershed wow factor that I've heard of in going from wire to a beam.
That said, I don't want to throw good money after bad!
Thanks y'all,
Matt
