Hi All, I find this all so laughable!!!! I drive a 4 element SteppIR at ~60', by various radios and, at times, an Alpha 87A, and I call tell you all from first had experience it is a WMD -- Weapon of
I bust through every pileup. I am never denied. NEVER. About the only time I am not heard is when I am pointing in the wrong direction, and even then, I often get in. I routinely beat Multi-Multi sta

Now there's an interesting idea -- have the lower antennas mounted on something like a hazer, so they can be raised or lowered as you change bands to always have the optimal stack spacing for a given
Or, use 3 stacked antennas (the tradeoff is between the cost of a hazer (and its mechanical complexity) and another antenna. Bear in mind also that what counts (to a first order) is the total number
