I've had a 420/240 up for nearly 5 years, located ~15 miles west of Boston.
Its a high-wind toldeant D model.
Physically, the antenna has been perfect, surviving wind, ice, and snow that
have brought down nearby trees. Operationally, its very effective on 20m,
but directivity on 40m is less than I would like; perhaps I'm expecting too
much from a 2-element design.

Gentlemen, I have had a C3E up for about 4 years now
and am very pleased, swr remains the same as it was
when I put it up. The last couple of years, I have been
on 20 and 40 and I am thinking of upgrading to the
420/240 and selling the C3E. If you any info about
this antenna, please let me know. Too, will a Yaesu 800
rotor, in tower, turn this antenna.
Tnx and 73, Richard NW4P
