Wow....
I've learned a lot about SO2R installations over the last week. Thanks for all
the emails and responses. Now, here is another questions.....
Antennas. I think I have an issue with antennas because of make up of my
location. I have a 60 foot tower with a C3E - 80 and 40 meter inverted -V
dipoles on separate feedlines but at the same height on the tower, a 160 meter
Inverted-L on the tower...and a full size quarter-wave vertical in the yard
with 32 radials. I was planning on changing out the vertical for a Butternut 6
band model or something similar, but as I was looking at the installation the
antenna would be very close to both the 160 -80- and 40 meter antennas....less
than 15 feet. I am on an 80 by 150 foot lot. (I think SO2R is gonna get
expensive when I tell the YL we have to move!) So, is it worthwhile to even
consider doing SO2R on such a small lot because of the proximity of the
antennas. This is a considerable investment....minus the new farmstead.

In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply. If you don't
have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it. If you can't find
any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense. Is
Common Sense divine?
