Sorry about the prior truncation, AOL glitch on my end.
To continue:
The bandwidth issue rules out a lot of shorty 40s and the interaction issues
clobber others. So how about using interlaced beams at the top? Say 20/40
with 10/15 over it and a pair of stacked tribanders sidemounted below. This
could all be fed with a stackmatch and remote switch to split power and phase
the antennas together. More trouble than tribander + 40M beam, but might
work out. If the interaction issues are related to 15M one could go 20/40
with a big 10M yagi over it and forgo the highest 15M beam.
So, lots of options, I'm just curious what people have done in the real
world. I think I'm going to put some effort into tracking down a 402CD...
Cheers,
Mark
