The rules state that you may use only a single tribander, therefore no
stacks allowed. Of course there is a huge difference in tribanders -
from the Butternut mini beam to the Force 12 XR series. I use a TH6DXX
at 48'.

Unless there is clear definition of a "tribander" exists I do not see much
difference between the two stacked tribenders (which you can nickname a
tribander with the split boom) and the one with the boom length equal to
the sum of the above two stacked tribanders. I still believe that the
essence of the tribander is the compromise spacing and shortened elements
rather then method of feeding. I am not really concerned about cheaters in
WPX. I am just trying to figure out the definition of a tribender in order
to formulate the antenna requirements for WRTC style contest which we are
going to have locally.
