Hi Ya'll:
Assuming I will overcome my ACC obstacles, this comes close to
duplicating my proposed install (Telrex TB-6EM and Hy-Gain 402BA, w/
15' of 2" mast above a heavy-duty pillow-block bearing and 5' below to
a T2X on Tristao HDX-600). I'm intrigued by your concept of putting the
40M at the bottom, my thinking was the Telrex weighs so much more and
has a larger wind load area that putting it just above the bearing and
the lighter/smaller (total s.f.) Hy-Gain up 7' or so would be the way
to go. Lower c.g., stresses on rotor, etc. Hadn't considered the
maintainence aspect. Am I missing out in my thinking here?
