Okay. Just to show that I don't play favorites and that I am interested
in new HF antenna products, here's a post regarding a couple of new Cushcraft
antennas. Looks like they're finally upgrading their flimsy hardware.

Steve: I don't know whether you saw them at Dayton or not, but
Cushcraft showed a new beefed up 2 el 40 called the 402BX. It is
designed at 100 mph winds and has the same electrical characteristics
as the 402CD. There was also a new beefed up tribander called the
X8 on a 28 foot boom. No traps in the drivers or reflectors and
designed at 100 mph with lots of new heavy brackets. Patterns and
gain slightly less than 4 el mono and 25 db F/R. Both of these ants
had four wire trusses on the booms. 73, Kurt, W6PH
