Could you install two or three short verticals over a total length of

can. The Hi-Z arrays are also worthy of consideration.

I am puzzled by the choice of the AD8055 for the amplifier.
It seems to be unprepared for strong BCB signals.  Has
anyone successfully used this near a BCB station?  I am
6 miles from a 50 kW station.  It seems to me there are
much better amplifiers available.  Or why not a FET follower?
