[OKDXA] Most Rugged Tribander

[Mark Chouinard]

I don't see the disadvantage of a hot boom LPDA.  It must be insulated from
the mast,  but that isn't a problem.

Perhaps there is concern about feedline routing?  Some (such as a certain
W8) suggest this to be an issue with the hot boom design.  Simply not the
case.  When properly installed, the low impedance feed point of a hot boom
makes for improved efficiency.

This isn't in-line with the original question regarding tri-band yagis and
I don't mean to hijack the thread.  Was only suggesting another compact and
light weight design offering broad coverage.
