[HQRP] ANT: Opinions?

[Ed Manuel (N5EM)]

Gang,

I'm about to have a new shack and a new tower - well, recycled and new to me.

It's a bit small (a QRP tower) at 40 ft. and has a wind load of 6 ft(2) and
suggests no more than a 10 ft. boom (Rohn BX).

So, I'm looking for a beam :-)

I'd appreciate any suggestions from your personal experience of the best
antenna that more or less fits these requirements.

1.  20, 17, 15, 12, 10 and possibly 6 though a separate 6 m antenna is OK.
2.  Meets or nearly meets the boom length requirement.
3.  Doesn't cost a kilobuck.
4.  Is completely contained in one plane (no Hex beam, though it looks nice
or Quads) - got to put some other small stuff above it.

My considerations so far have included the Mosely TH3-Jr WARC (exceeds the
10 ft. boom), the 2 element version of the same antenna, and the new
Cushcraft shortened, loaded three element - MA5B.

Since this is a personal requirement, please email privately to keep the
list traffic down.  If there is interested on the part of others, I'll post
a summary.

Thanks for helping to cut my web search down to a manageable time.
