I have used a Cushcraft A627013S (3 els on 6m, 5 on 2M, and 5 on 440). Two
feedlines
used.
Too bad you are not close to my QTH (near Albany, NY); I am trying to sell this
antenna as I
do not have room on my roof for it. Otherwise, I would be using it a lot. It
served my
purposes a lot when I lived in Iowa.
