- I bow to the antenna specialists on this reflector and pose the following question. I know the resonant frequency will change on the antenna when installed on top of a tower versus being at 6 feet or

- Vic, Best way is to tune the beam while pointed straight up, with the ref. a few feet off the ground (saw horses). Then take it to the top... I think there was some computer modeling recently in QST

- Victor, When the beam is low to the ground, the ground acts like a big reflector. This causes RF to be reflected back into the antenna, and current flows helter skelter through the parasitic elements

- There are many ways to determine this: 1. Model it on your PC using a variety of programs sold in QST. 2. If you have the antenna built, raise it with a non-conducting rope, pointing it straight up,
