Presumably that will help with the charge saturation during an event. The reason for rod spacing is to minimize inductive coupling between them, which reduces their effectiveness. 73, Jim K9YC _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk |
