You turd :-)
I have a Classic 33 Tribander and I am still trying to figure out why
anyone would put up something bigger. It seems to work everything I
call on it, and that makes me satisfied. Maybe I should go lay in the
yard too.

I took a quick look at the publications on the championradio.com page and have
a question. It seems the books were published a few years ago.
While the design theory has not changed, materials and workmanship may have. My
recent experience with Mosley left me a little concerned about the performance
of the end product, in my case a new RV-7C vertical.
Am I mistaken or did I miss a revision date?
Since I may be acting like a turd, I will now go lay in the yard.

Howdy, TowerTalkians -
? ? Tnx for your identification of the aforementioned QST cover antennas. I was
on the right track anyway - hi.?? ? The good news? The F12 C31XR is a terrific
antenna. The bad news? The Mosley PRO series antennas are LOSERS. If you don't
believe me, get a copy of our exclusive on-the-air yagi antenna test (available
from championradio.com) and see for yourself. One of the PRO antennas we tested
had negative gain on one band. Hard to believe the antenna's owner hasn't
noticed the difference himself since they're installed in close proximity for
instant comparison. Or maybe he has.??? ? Now back to regularly scheduled
programming.??Cheers,Steve? ? ?K7LXC

Steve,
Thanks for sharing the info on the test results book. I hadn't seen that and I
will pick one up since I have a C31XR (will likely buy a 2nd when my tower
project moves forward). Along the way I acquired a NOS Pro-67 real cheap and I
was thinking of putting it up on a separate tower and leaving pointed towards
SA/Carib. I might still do that since I already have it, but will read those
results before I decide.
