Hi, Stan. How about adding some "spikes" (like a capacity hat) to the end of the boom to add capacitive loading? 73, Dave AB7E _______________________________________________ ________________________

Why not linear load the boom. Use a conductive standoff at the end of the boom, connect a wire to the top of the standoff and stretch the wire back toward the mast area. Use insulated stand offs as n

Thanks for all the responses! Still looking for something I can do, even temporarily, without taking it down. Thanks...Stan, K5GO Sent from Stan's IPhone _____________________________________________

Yes, that should work. You could also detune the boom by connecting a capacitor across part of the boom. I built a new 40m FS yagi (12m boom) at 38m, about 50m apart is my shorty-forty at 18m height.

Since the 20m elements are insulated, would installing a ground strap to an element near the boom detune things enough to work? Could an additional "dummy" element or elements be added temporarily fo

That interaction is incredible since the beams are 186' apart. I don't recall my 60' boom yagis causing a 40m problem at my previous QTH with 20' spacing and I'm not sure yet if it's a problem at my

Installing dummy elements out as far as I could reach was what I was going to try first but dont know whether the would be far enough out to do the trick. Yesterday I looked to see where the nearest

Stan, you just have too many long boom antennas! It should not be that difficult to model the system and then you can experiment and see how to fix the problem. The 20m beam at 70' with nothing below

John, You may be right.... I have an issue with this particular antenna since it folded my 35 year old gin pole when the antenna was almost at the top of the tower going up 18 months ago - not a fun

I was not suggesting to insulate the boom from the mast. My suggestion was to install insulating sections on the boom so you electrically have two or three boom sections or perhaps to use fiberglass

I pulled my 75' high 60' boom beam up and down several times in the last few years to make adjustments and finally to add 40m elements to the boom. Mine is not on top of a mast and nothing is below s
