It seems to me that a 2 inch boom is really too short...

Barry,
I (along with Scott Neader, KA9FOX, and Murray, WA6USL) have the C4XLD and
it really does the job. It is a nine element (two on 40) yagi on a two inch
boom. If you are both a CW and Phone buff, get the optional 40 meter relay
box and you will be able to cover all of 40 with a 1:1 SWR.

Wayne,
I am also in the research phase of acquiring a new antenna and 10 - 40
meters on one boom was one of my requirements. Force 12 makes 3 different
beams that fit.
Wind Turn
Model Boom Wgt Load Rad Price
C4S 12 33 5.9 19.4 759
C4SXL 23 48 8.0 21.8 1079
C4XL 35 65 8.2 23.8? 1,249
You can check them out at: http://force12inc.com/<http://force12inc.com/>
I have no first-hand experience with these, but am sure others on the list
do.
Good luck,
Barry - W1HFN
