I have been reading with interest the discussion of the kc1xx stack. Since
i am about to finish a modest 10m stack im interested in how others think
it will perform.
present 10m antenna is 6/6/6/6/ with selection of upper pair, lower pair
or
all four. bottom pair are fixed ( south america right now) and the top
pair
fully rotate. Heights are 30/60/90/120.
okay that is the old stuff now for the summer project:
i purchased 4 old LTA 10m antennas- 2 seven element and 2 5 element-
I have rebuilt them into 4 six element on 36ft boom per ARRL antenna book
dimensions. gama match was adjusted to give near unity at 28.4. the
antennas
will be stacked 6/6/6 ( im not using the 4th antenna) and sidemounted on a
rohn 25. selected heights will be 27/54/81. with the 10m band in its
present
shape its hard to think the effort has been worthwhile but it has been fun.
i plan on fixing them at abt 60 degrees for the october contest.
anyone have an opinion of how this thing will play?
