Ron, I'm considering buying the Hygain Explorer 14.
I just got a Behringer Ultra Curve PRO 2496, do you know anybody that has
used it? I'm currently using the Yaesu FT 1000 MK V field with a Behringer
mike, Behringer pre amp and the Behringer DSP 1124, 73s.

Hi Eddie,
I didn't put it together myself. A couple of hams from the local club read
the instruction sheet and assembled it for me. I didn't take them too long
but I really can't comment firsthand on how hard it is to assemble. They had
no problem with it, but one of the two hams owned the same antenna and
regularly took it into the field along with a 50-foot tower he'd mounted to
a ladder frame atop his pickup. I guess that, in and of itself, speaks to
the ease with which the antenna can be assembled and disassembled.

i Eddie,
If you've got a tower and a rotator you might want to try the Hy-Gain Th3
Junior (thunderbird) tri-band beam. I used it with great success on the top
of my 50-foot tower for several years (I only took it down because i had to
move to a rental, so my tower owning days were at an end). Using that
antenna an only 5 watts, I worked lots of dx on 20, 15 and 10 meters, at the
bottom of the sun spot cycle (2005-2009). I worked a lot of stations on 20
meters, had some great congtacts into Australia and Africa on 15 and lots of
sporadic e skip on 10 meters during the summer plus dx during the summer
months.

Ron, you got that right, I'm currently using a dipole, I had a Cushcraft A3S
with the 40 meter kit, but thanks to hurricane Ike I lost it.
I would like to buy a 10 - 20 Tribander that's not as big nor as difficult
to put together, do you have any ideas? 73s Eddie N1LR

Hello Eddie
Welcome to the list. I think you might be surprised how far you can talk
these days.
I've just moved into a new rental house and the landlord says I can put up
antennas, so hope to see you on the air.
