Would be interested in responses to this query as well. Am planning to erect 
the 4 el Hi Z with 80 ft spacing in a forested area. Trees are a mix of hard 
and soft wood. Average heights are 70 ft. 

Gut feel is zero impact. Have 4 SQ for TX on both 160 and 80 in woods and seem 
to work just fine. 

Regards,

Mark, K1RX
