First, thanks for all the comments on my request. It's been said many times,
but you guys are a great resource.
Secondly, I guess I'm going to try a rotatable dipole on the tower. This
should be fairly easy to try (I think I can borrow one locally) and I can
compare the vertical I have to the dipole directly. This leads to one more
question. I am using a 2 element 6 band (20 - 6) quad (not a spider). Should
the dipole be mounted parallel or perpendicular to the boom? I cannot mount it
above or below the quad element wires, so it will have to 3 - 4 feet above the
boom. Thanks in advance.
73, Bud N7CW
