All:
Was thinking about replacing my existing multi-band HF Yagi with 4 element
M2 monobanders for 20 and 15 meters. Specifically the 20M4DX and the 15M4DX.
The antennas would be mounted on the existing tower on a 20 foot mast.
The first thing that comes to mind is stacking the antennas with enough
space between them to avoid any detuning. The other question is where to
mount my existing six and 10 meter Yagi's to avoid the same.
The plan is to mount the 20m Yagi at the botom of the mast and the 15m Yagi
about 10 feet above. The 10 and 6 meter Yagi's will have to be close at the
top of the mast. Not sure if this is the best way to go.
Any comments on how M2 mono-banders compare to others manufacturers in terms
of performance, workmanship and quality components would be appreciated.
Another concern is consistent gain and F/B accross the band. My main
interest is CW and the M2 20m Yagi looks like it can be "peaked" for the
lower end of the band.
Thanks,
