[OKDXA] Upcoming DXpedition News

[John G.]

Hi Gene,

I have a MA5B sitting in the shed.  Just need a rotor for it and to get it 
up on the roof.  No tower here yet.  The 20m monobander you have would be 
excellent!  How does the gain on the log periodic compare with other 
tribanders?  I have always thought the gain was a little low on them given 
the size and price.
