There is an upcoming C51XR with a 40M section, but I know no details beyond that. I have not heard of anyone loading the C31XL boom. The C4XL has a broader front end (more cardiod like) than the Wils

Keep the angles the same as if the tower was installed on perfectly flat ground. This is also true if you are using elevated guy posts. If you change the angles, you cannot rely on the manufacturer s

The other thing the "pros" do is watch the guys both temp as they go up and permanent as they go under the temps and then up to see if the tension is reasonably equal (Loos gauge) and the sections ar

Conventional wisdom (ala Polyphaser) is that two points must be separated by 75' or more to be considered really separate for lightning prevention. As a practical matter, that may be overkill. I am b

I have never seen a compromise spacing that worked across such a wide frequency range. There are pattern problems even going from 10 to 20 meters, much less all the way to 40. As you know, I interlac

The answer is: "it all depends". Without actually calculating the tension in the guys and the loads on the anchors, there is no way to specify the materials you will need. The loads are complex. Not

I make it 4.6 dBd for the first one, +3 dB for the second one, plus 3 dB more for doubling from 2 antennas to 4 => 10.6 dBd This is borne out by my experience with a mixed stack of C3's and C4XL's at

I have a WARC7 in between a C3 and C4XL stack, with about 15' spacing from it to the other antennas. As I remember, Tom told me to get 10' or more of spacing to avoid problems. I see no interaction.
