it. I was not sure if I would want an antenna that covered all the bands from 10-20M. I thought that I would be giving up some on performance. I cannot compare it to the TH11, as I have never had one. All I have to compare is the many other operators in my area who have had trouble getting through some of the same pile ups when I have had no problem( same power). The antenna seems to hold the conditions longer also. Went together without no problem and SWR checked out better than manual said. One thing that I did do was to get the higher wind rated model. I figured that the extra cost was worth it. In the last 2 years we have had more wind in our area than ever. I have a Davis weather station and the anemometer is right below the 5BA. I had a wind of 93 MPH last year and in November we had 27 straight hours where the wind was never under 30 MPH and had highs of at least 55MPH every hour. The abuse that the antenna took as well as my Force 12 EF-240X and EF-180C was unbelievable. All came through without incidence. Hope this helps out. This is my honest opinion of this antenna. I would be the first to say otherwise if I wasnt happy. 73 John W9RPM ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!
