Jim et al:

     Although the Bencher Skyhawk isn't resonant on 17 or 24 M it does load 
on those bands with a tuner.  I have worked a fair share of folks on both 
bands with mine.  However, I believe the directivity is reversed on 24M 
because the first 20M (or is it 15M?) director acts like a reflector on that 
band.
