Scenario:
I will be putting up three antennas on a 70' tower:
Hygain TH-11 (12 SQ FT)
M2 3 element Linear-Loaded 40m Yagi (9.5 SQ FT)
M2 5 element 6m Yagi (2.0 SQ FT)
I will be using a 20' chromally mast, with 5' going into the tower. That
leaves me 15' to use. Hence, the top of the mast will be 85'.
Been reading alot about ideal take-off angles and have concluded that I'd
better put my 40m yagi on top (85'), with the 6m Yagi 7.5' (77.5') below it,
and the TH-11 right at the top of the tower(70'). Is this what you would do?
Esthetically, I'd rather do it in reverse, to resemble more of a Christmas
tree pattern (TH-11 on top), but feel that the added height on 40m might make
a difference and the lesser height on 10/15 more ideal...
Your thoughts are welcome!!
