If a contester can't win with a tribander at 50 feet, then how do explain
some guy in Harvey, Louisiana winning 17 World titles in the ARRL RTTY
Roundup Low Power, one World Single Op High Power and one World Single Op
Low Power in the CQWW RTTY Contest, three World low power single op wins in
CQ WPX RTTY, six NAQP RTTY wins, not to mention a world single op win in the
JARTS and BARTG Expert Class and three World WAE RTTY wins?

 

You can win with tribanders!!!

 

Just messing with you but some guy did actually do that with a tribander at
65 feet, then after Katrina at 55 feet.  He did have another tribander at 45
feet too...

I had a contester tell me once that nobody with a 3 element tri-bander at 50
feet could WIN a contest.  I agree.  I also say that even if you are the
loudest station on the air in order to WIN a contest you still need to hear
all the 3  element tri-banders on the air.  QSO's mean points. You aren't
going to do that with a good receiver.  You need the best receiver to back
up that loud voice.  If you truely want to WIN.
