That's a REALLY false choice. All of us are limited by what we CAN put up, both by our real estate (including legal restrictions) and cost. A smart ham will apply MANY criteria when choosing which antenna(s) are best for his QTH and operating needs. Mutliband SWITCHING is only one of those design criteria, and rarely the most important one. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
