Joshua...
I am using a Bencher SkyHawk at 60 feet. For whatever reasons of design,
it does work well on 30, 17 and 12 meters using the Elecraft KAT500. On
those bands I have worked 123, 176 and 115 DX entities, respectively. No
doubt it's not as good on those bands as the three HF bands for which it
is designed. The tuneable Stepp antennas may do even better.

I am going to be acquiring a 56 foot Rohn BX tower. I already have a G5RV
that I am planning on putting up (still not sure where I'm going to attach
the other end of it to, One end will go on the tower.) I'm going to put up
a 2m/440 vertical at some point up near the top of the tower. I keep
throwing around an HF vertical or a beam. The verticals seem to cover more
bands, but the beams are directional. (Would also need a rotor,..
Can a multi band yagi be tuned to a different band, or will it only work on
the bands that it's designed for?
I'm thinking long term and I'll probably be adding a K3/100 with a KPA500
to the mix in the next year or so... Trying to figure out what will give
me the best bang for my buck, so to speak.
