First, let me thank all of you that replied to my 'antenna decisions' inquiry.
The results (and choices) are below:
one vote for #1 (TH6 @ 70' w/40m phased verticals)
one vote for #2 (PRO-67 @ 70') note: lots of negative comments on PRO-67's
seven votes for #3 (TH6 @ 62'/2el40m @ 72') note: 40-2CD obvious favorite
two votes for #4 (2el40 @ 62'/TH6 @ 72') note: based on potential 15 meter
pattern degradation with #3 and that 40-2CD's need more maintenance than TH6's
one vote for a Force 12 solution.
Based on your valued inputs, I have decided to go with #3, which is the way I
was leaning before my inquiry. Assuming it is blessed by my structural engineer
(a city requirement), tower lowering and antenna raising will begin soon.
Again, thanks for your help. By the way, I am now in the market for a 40-2CD!
