The Mosley TA 33 Jr is (was) a smaller footprint yagi that for boom length had
decent performance at my old QTH.
K7LXC and N0AX measured small and medium-size tribanders about 15 years
ago in a very disciplined way, and published their results. The Mosley
TA33 and Pro-57B came in dead last in their respective size categories.
N0AX is currently the editor of the ARRL Handbook and ARRL Antenna Book.
The Force 12 C3 and C3SS and the SteppIR 2-el and 3-el yagis are
excellent performers. The little 2-el SteppIR will blow away a TA33, and
can easily be handled by one person on a tower. Our small contest group
who do FD and state QSO party expeditions together own three C3SS
antennas between us, all bought used.
If you want performance and low visibility, a 2-el SteppIR (no
trombones) is the clear winner.
