I have a Tennadyne T8. It has performed extremely well for 12 years. There are no traps or motors or anything to go wrong. The antenna covers 14 to 30 mhz very well with a good front to back ratio and has been maintenance free
all this time.

I concur with Gert recommending a SteppIR 3 element beam. I chose it
because
of it's mono band operation on every frequency from 13.9Mhz to 53Mhz and
everything in between and it isn't a monster. Besides, it doesn't weigh a
ton and can be easily torn down to move it. During icy winter days here in
the Buffalo, NY area all I do is retract the elements that fide inside 16
foot fiberglass poles of sorts. I've had it up for almost two years now.
Oh, by the way the SteppIR people are terrific to work with!!!
I'm currently waiting for the 30M and 40M add on kit for my 3 element
SteppIR beam.
Just my two cents.
George
