Subject:  dipole vs. Mosley TA33-SR Author:  Jim Brannigan <jbrannig@optonline.net> Date:  09-May-2003 07:41:24 I had a TA-33 for many years. A winter storm broke the boom to mast mount and it was replaced with a C-3. My subjective analysis is that the C-3 is a better performer than the TA-33. Most noticeable is F/B, F/side ratio. In all fairness, a fellow told me that he had a C-3 and TA-33, side by side and could not see a meaningful difference. There is one item that can be quantified. The C-3 is a heck of a lot lighter than the TA-33 and easier to maneuver around the top of the tower. Jim > Today i put up a resonant dipole tuned for 14.245.0 at 55ft.
