On 11/08/2008 3:40 AM, the old scribe known as Fred was able to impart 
this pearl of wisdom:
> I know some of you guys have done the math and looked at the options, so if

> you select and why. I'm looking for one with the most coverage, smallest or 
> lowest wind-loading factor so I could possibly put up two antennas covering 
> two groups of bands or a mono-bander and a multi-band antenna as well.

> They would be for bands between 40 and 10 meters. I'm thinking of putting up

> just see if I can't put up a 40 meter beam or perhaps an add-on kit for 
> another multi-band antenna for 40 meters.
