I realize I will probably get all kinds of suggestions but I had rather have a recommendation for a 11 meter directional Yagi antenna from an amateur radio operator here. Not that CB operators don't know anything. It just that I think I will get a more clearly defined reason and recommendation for a directional Yagi antenna from someone that has had more experience.
I am considering a Yagi directional bean antenna in the 5 to 6 element size range. I've tried several beam antennas and seem to get a lot of false information from advertisers instead of more realistic data. I will have the antenna approximately 68 feet from the ground to the boom and don't mind spending the money as long as the antenna performs as advertised. I do understand how to build and set an antenna so I'm not looking for all of the if, and or buts about antenna, just real world performance data from an experienced user.
I'm leaning more towards something like a 11 meter 6 element Long-John. I'm mostly interested in which antenna has the best real world gain.
Your experienced input will be appreciated.
