The TH11 is a WELL RESPECTED 5 Bander
for 10, 12, 15, 17, 20M. The boom can be matched
for 40M or a separate 40M beam or rotary dipole can
be installed above it.
FWIW, I bought a used PRO-57B from a guy leaving town.
I have yet to put it on a tower. Hope to get to that sometime
in the not too distant future.
