I am considering upgrading one of my antennas. Right now I have a TH-7
above the top of an HDX-555. About 12 feet above it is a 2 el KLM 40.
Approximately in the middle is a Cushcraft WARC dipole the D3W.
I want to replace the D3W with an A3WS and A103 30 meter kit. I have the
following questions:
1) Is the 15 ft 1/4 inch thick mast I am using still sufficient for the 3
antennas? Live in the LA area and I think the wind zone is unexceptional.
2) At a 6 foot spacing, what would be the effects on the TH-7 if the A3WS
antenna boom is parallel to the boom of the TH-7? Right now the D3W is
parallel to the boom of the TH-7.
3) Using a Hy-Gain Ham IV/T2X type rotator now. Any commemts on the Orion
or Create rotators as a replacement?
Thanks for you words of wisdom!
