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.
