Hi guys... more questions!
I'm thinking looking at putting an A4S and and some kind of 40M yagi on the
same mast. I plan to rotate the 40M yagi 90 deg from the A4S to minimize
interaction. I'm thinking somewhere in the future I may even add another A4S
somewhere down the tower a ways.
The A4S has an advertised windload of 5.5 sq ft. The 40M yagis around the same
5.5 sq ft. But, I'm thinking the 40M yagi is 5.5 sq ft looking at it from the
front. Looking at the side of the 40M yagi (2" boom and 22.6 ft) I'd guess
more like 2.5 sq ft. Same with the A4S from the side.... a 2" 18' boom should
be around 2 sq ft. So... total windload with the yagi's arranged 90 deg from
each other should be 5.5 + 2 = 7.5 sq ft from one side and 5.5 + 2.5 = 8 sq ft
from the other side.
Is my logic ok there?
Thanks for your opinions!
