Mosley Mini Beam Antenna

Image
I’m considering a Mosley Mini-32A for a “modest” contest antenna that I think is suitable for my QTH. I think they Mosley looks better than a Hexbeam, ways half as much, and has slightly better performance. A push mast is probably suitable for this mini beam. The W8IO 45LT rooftop tower is probably overkill and would be a challenge to install in my attic. The Glen Martin RT-424 is very popular but is not in production. eHAM reviews are mixed. The mini is a compromise over a full size yagi as it uses traps for automatic band switching with no need for a tuner in the ham shack. Based on the majority of the feedback I believe the performance will be great for daily POTA hunting and casual contesting. https://www.eham.net/reviews/view-product?id=1102 https://www.eham.net/reviews/view-product?id=10800 Mosley Product Specs http://www.mosley-electronics.com/mini.html https://www.w8io.com/io45lt.htm
