This discussion just occurred on an antenna and tower discussion list and it seems it is relevant here as well.
Is a Log Periodic antenna better for modes like ALE? doc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Have you e-mailed Roger at Tennadyne [EMAIL PROTECTED] He or Chuck KA1PM (the former owner) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> can give you some really good advice. I've talked to several hams who have the T8 and they tell me they're using it on 6m with no decrease in performance even though its not cut for it. The T11 is a T8 with 3 elements for 6m is what Chuck the former owner told me. I opted for the T10 and have been well pleased with it, it beats the heck out of the triband 3 element beam I had before. I worked K7C and 3Y0X on 20 barefoot with a Kenwood TS 430S and the T10 is FLAT on all bands all the way across, CW or phone portions. The 3Y0X op, 2 calls, I worked could not believe I was barefoot at the time I worked him. My T10, which my XYL CHeryl (WY5H) bought for my birthday a couple yeas ago) is at 50 ft. on a TriEx W51 crankup. I can only say great and positive things about Tennadyne and I'm one of the world's worst procrastinators. 73 de Tom, WW5L / V31EF / 7P8TA (with a T6) / G0-WW5L / guest op at KH6BB / and soon to be C91TA with a T8 at 50 feet from Mozambique at the end of June and first two weeks of July. Listen for me. Even with low sunspots I expect to put lots of stateside calls in the log with the T8. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks! & 73, doc kd4e |_|___|_| | | & | | {| /\ {| / \ {| / \ {| / @ \ {| | |~_|~~~~| | -| | | ============\ # http://bibleseven.com KD4E ===================================== West Central Florida ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Need a Digital mode QSO?
