>>Hi All
>>
>>After this weekends NAQP, I've just about come to the conclusion
>>that 2 el monobanders would be better than the TH-3 I'm currently
>>using.
>>Right now, the TH-3 is cut for the CW band, and as many who own
>>the TH-3 know, the bandwidth is not all that great.  I had to run
>>it through the tuner all weekend on all three bands.   I'm sure
>>gain is gone having to use it this way.  I think that some
>>wide-band 2 el monobanders for 10-15-20 would work better than
>>trying to run an antenna with a SWR of 4 to 1 on one end of the
>>band or the other.  I had a 15 meter 2 el wide spaced monobander
>>up before the TH-3, and it was good from 21.000 up to about
>>21.300 before the power would start dropping off.   I'm really
>>starting to think I made a mistake taking it down, but I thought
>>the convenience of a tri-bander would offset the difference in
>>efficiency of the mono/tri-bander.  The problem is I've got one
>>SMALL tower, and no room for another one and I wanted something
>>for 10 meters, too.  Oh well, I guess we really can't have our
>>cake and eat it too.  A bigger tri-bander is not an option at
>>this time.  73
