[50mhz] A question for 52.525 FMers ONLY... Follow-up

[Steve Grimes]

Wow, I never realized...  I'm new to 6m with a Par omni OA-50 (triangular
shaped dipole) to my FT-450AT.  I am hoping to get some good contacts this
spring and summer.  I have a 40m OCF at 32 feet.  I'm going to have to
mount my antenna on the tower underneath it.  Giving it about 8 feet
clearance so the dipoles won't interact (hopefully) with each other, that
would put it about 20 feet in the air.  Does the group have an opinion on
how I might do in terms of getting my signal out?  Also, any other
suggestions?

Thanks,
Steve
