Post Ive been pondering HF beams again.
The last 2 ele job didn't do much except kill my rotator. I now have a big hygain but would still rather use the lightweight one. Long story, but there it is.

I have decided that 6 bands, or three bands, or even two bands is really un required by me...I just want a 20m beam. Well, maybe 40m too...ha ha

Has anyone made a monobander? Presumably they won't be too heavy as they shouldn't need loads of traps, but I don't know.

If i was going monoband and two element I'd be tempted to build a moxon.
Fishing poles for spreaders with a centre hub, lightweight and not as large as a full scale yagi.
