Dick:
I had one of those several years back es it mucked up the SWR on my tribander
when I operated 15M. I had about 7-8 foot of separation between the apex of
the antenna and the beam. When I dropped the Alpha down to about 12 ft. of
separation, the SWR on the beam was "OK". But, I am sure that the beam
pattern had to be affected -- I tried not to think bout' it! heh heh
The bottom line is you will be much happier with the performance of a dipole
if ya' got the space es you will have $ left over to spend at the next
hamfest!
