How many users on here use Motorola radios on HF?

I am also looking for an HF Log Periodic Antenna for my station

Do you truly mean a log periodic, or do you mean a Yagi? They are NOT the same. The log periodic has a wider bandwidth at the expense of lower gain for a given size, while a Yagi has higher gain but lower bandwidth for the same size.

Yes I am looking for a LP. The bigger the better.

recently quoted a HF log periodic transmit antenna to a large Carribean country.................it was 2-30mhz (roughly) and measured almost the size of a football field. It was for a fixed application so there no tower/rotator combo to worry about. This antenna was several hundreds of thousands of $$$$$$ before installation. FYI........... FatBoy

I'm using Micom 2 /ES and /TS here in Chicago.
What do you want to know?
They're great radios: embedded ALE, idiotproof autotuners, DSP-driven, tough build...
