Interaction was my concern too when selecting a 40M beam since it would be
on the same mast as a tribander. I decided on the Force 12 MAG240N since it
doesn't have a resonance in any other band. Went together easy. Followed the
instructions for tuning each element. Seems to work fine.

Subject: [TowerTalk] 40m beam
I am looking for suggestions or comments on 2 ele 40m beams.
I am going to be putting up a Trylon 64ft self supporting tower with a
SteppIR 4 ele beam and would like a reasonable 40m beam.
Interaction is a concern.
I have heard good and bad things about the "new" Cushcraft xm240. I have
seen nothing on the Hy-gain Discoverer 72 and have hesitations because of
the ownership. The Optibeams look interesting but are sure pricey. The
Force 12 Mag 240 might be a player too. I work phone and cw.
Any comments greatly appreciated.
Mike
