Plays Well Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
The Mosley is an excellent short boom, multiband antenna. With that being said it is not for the mechanically challenged ham. The tubing fits very tight which is good, but requires a considerable amount of deburing.
The color on the color code traps wears of easily so I suggest using paint pens to mark all color code components.
I changed several of the fasteners to my liking but one must replace the supplied slotted stainless sheet metal screws with hex head screws. This allows you to use a nut driver to tighten the screws without damaging the screw heads or your hands
I will admit I never owned a yagi of this size held together by sheet metal screws but they work surprising well. The antenna has survived 72 mph wings, ice and typical stormy Midwest weather with no problems on a 60 foot tower.
One major complaint is the poorly written manual that’s supplied. Even MFJ manuals are far better in assembly instructions and diagrams.
However their technical support unlike others is excellent.
When finally completed I can say this is the best short boom antenna I have owned and I have had more than I want to admit to.

Fills the bill Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Quite a small space here so wanted the flexibility of several bands and a smaller size, the TA-63N fills the bill. Very easy to assemble, well made and yes as advertised doesn't have the greatest F/B ratio but not an issue with me. Operating as J6 and the yagi arrived as I was told, packed well and I expect many years of fun on the bands. Highly recpmmended.

As advertized, maybe better Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Have had the TA-63N up for a month now and I am very happy with the results. Run 100 watts and DX is a ease most of the time. works very good on 6 meters also.

Excellent antennda - 3 el yagi performance on ALL bands 20-6m ! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I have long been looking for a single feedline antenna with moderate amount of elements to perform on all the bands from 20 to 6m.

You can guess it - the only one company who makes those antennas is...Mosley !

Built like a tank, SWR 1.1 to 1 on most of the bands.

Works all the bands, including 6m, like a 3 el yagi.

I rarely need to use an amplifier (with PA you you will feel as a big gun, hi !).

Excellent gain, just around 12dB front to back.

More then pleased.

Waiting time - around 2 months, but it is well woth it !
