Hi Dave,

Thanks for the reply.

Yagis:
I've read many excellent reports on the tilt-able 91XG: 11.8 dBi (~9.65 dBd) @ 470 Hz

The Fracarro sigma 6 & 9HD look appealing due to their respectable gain and smaller size - Less conspicuous & less wind-load.
  • Sigma 9HD provides 14 dBi (~11.85 dBd) @ 480 Hz
  • Sigma 6HD provides 13 dBi (~10.85 dBd) @ 480 Hz
Bow Tie:
I understand the new DB2/4e are designed for 14-51, which is excellent. Kudos to AD!
DB4e: "Boresight gain"(?) 11.68 dBi (~ 9.53 dBd) @ 470 Hz

When will they rescale the 91XG? (I suspect ADTech is probably very tired of this question. )

We live about 45 miles from DC & Balt and the majority of our reception is unfortunately 2edge. Additionally, a wall of very tall 30-yr old spruce trees stand between us and DC. When it rains 4.1 (RF 48) is very problematic due to multipath interference caused by the wind blowing the wall of evergreens - our biggest challenge. Harrisburg, Lancaster, & York PA are also possibilities.

Windy ice storms are also a possible in our area.

Which uhf antenna is best suited to our conditions?
