- Hello out there. I'm at a loss as to what to replace a snow-damaged 2 el 40m beam with. Everything I've found on-line doesn't really call out how strong the antenna is. Ideally, since most "gain" fig

- I think that comment is an anachronism. The Telrex was a beefy antenna, but with full size elements I don't see how it could be as mechanically robust as a modern day coil-loaded shorty-40. Just too
