Good news, Insurance was nice to me and I was awarded pretty much what I
asked for insurance and have received a check. Now it's time to go shopping
and get back to work on the Antennas... I'm looking for suggestions on how
to stack a selection of antennas, but know I do not have enough mast
available. But for now until I can get *another* tower up what would be the
best way to stack them.. I figure I have 20 feet of mast above the tower
with the following Antennas to mount. The tower is a Rohn 25G at 70 feet.
Cushcraft A4S with 40mtr kit ( May leave off as I don't do much HF work now)
M^2 432-9WL 21 foot boom
M^2 5ele 6 mtr Yagi 18' boom
2 each M^2 5WL for 144mhz 33' boom (if need can just mount a single for now,
stacking distance is 14 feet)
M^2 23CM35EZ 1.2G Yagi 10 ft (13 WL)
I could really throw a kink here and try and mount 6 X 440-18's instead of
the 432-9WL
I have 6 runs if LDF7 running to the base of the tower to a junction box and
plan to run LDF6 and LDF4 up the inside of the tower to the rotor tail.
Preamps for each band will be mounted at the rotor tails.
I was looking at the Commander II 144mhz amp but I called and was given a "6
Month" lead time. Gezzz, Lunar-Link gave me a 60-90 day lead time, Guess
It's fix the Henry 2002 or operate QRP<grin>.
