Subject: C4XL v. C31XR v. 5BA

I am trying to decide on a new antenna (or maybe I should just put up
the KT34A again). I purchased a C3S for a DX trip at Dayton this year
so I do have 17/12 on that antenna. The plan is to put the C3s on a 40
ft tower as a second antenna. I am going to put up a 72' ft tower and
was thinking of something a bit bigger up there. Any pros or cons on
the various ant? Ive used a 5BA and it is a nice antenna but Im not
sure I need mor 17/12m (I think Ive made 10 contacts on those bands
since '79). Im not too sure how much use I will have for a 40m yagi
since I am not a big mode band dx chaser. This leaves me leaning to the
C31XR but not convinced.

I have a HAM IV rotor from my old installation. Am I looking at a rotor
upgrade also? or will that rotor handle all the antennas? For now there
would be only one antenna at 72'.

Thanks for the input.
