HELLO,
THANKS FOR ALL REPLIES AHEAD OF TIME. MY NAME IS SCOTT-W9SF.
HERE IS MY QUESTION:

KT34XA AT 90FT.
ANOTHER KT34XA  33FT. DOWN ON THE TOWER (57FT FROM GROUND)
DUNESTAR WX0B STACK MATCH
BOTH POINTED AT EU

I DID SOME SIGNAL REPORTS IN TO EU ON 20MTRS. AND WAS NOT REAL HAPPY WITH
THE FINDINGS. THE HIGH BEAM ALWAYS HAD A MIN. OF 1-2 S UNITS BETTER SIGNAL
THAN
THE TWO OF THE STACKED. SAME FINGINGS ON 15MTRS.

NOW TWO OF THE GUY WIRES ARE CLOSE THE THE FRONT END OF THE LOW BEAM.
THE GUYS ARE INSULATED FROM TOWER.

ANY IDEAS? I HAVE NEVER STACKED BEFORE AND NOT SURE WHAT TO EXPECT BUT I
DID EXPECT THE STACK TO HAVE A BETTER SIGNAL THAN THE HIGH BEAM.

THANKS AGN   DE W9SF  SCOTT (NORTHERN BLACK HOLE)
