Subject: Anyone out there using the C-51XR and WARC-7 together
Author: wn9o@usa.net <wn9o@usa.net>

I think a C-49XR with a Magnum 340N antenna would be better than the C-51
XR,
but the hassle of the extra antenna was not worth it for me. I decided t
o
stack another C-31XR and C-3E below to help the high bands (and actually
it is
much better for contesting!).

Keep in mind these antennas are not for the faint at heart! I have handl
ed
the KLM (40' boom) 20 meter monobander, the KT-34XA and the C-31XR and be
lieve
me the C-51XR is MUCH more difficult to handle (close to 200#). If your
working with AB105, you should already realize this (Hi). My ham friend
W9ZRX
has some AB105 in his 3 tower station and used to have many monobanders o
n
that tower (I think 6 total). Should be a good setup for you.

73's,
