[50mhz] 50 Mhz antennas

Mon, 19 Aug 2002 09:44:29 -0400

The old 4 element HyGain was better than the 5 element CushCraft (same 
boom length).
I would still choose the 6 element HyGain over the 6 element CushCraft.
Actually, it would not be a tough choice as I won't have anything 
CushCraft at my QTH!!
