[Elecraft] 3 element beam

[EricJ]

No, I had expressed two different opinions. First, I was responding to the
question of whether a 3 ele beam was better for QRP than a vertical. And in
an aside, I had remembered that mc was looking for a SMALL antenna for use
at sea. Obviously, a yagi isn't a small antenna at HF. I was remarking that
some of the antennas, like the PAC-12, work very well portable, but at sea
would probably fall apart. QSB would be the least of problems in 50 foot
waves. Hi.

An 80M vertical at sea... be still my throbbing heart!

I'm curious Eric, are you aware of many (any) 3 element yagis on oceangoing
vessels? Seems like that antenna would take some severe punishment,
depending on where one sailed? I can visualize serious QSB in 50 foot
waves...

Cheers,
