The mechanical performance of the antennas is vastly improved if you install
the "++" modifications as suggested by W6QHS (now W6NL) in his book and in
the two QST articles. You will need all three references to get the full
information.
I have two (with "++" mods) stacked at 134/67 feet and they perform very
well. You may see these on my website: http://www.erols.com/n3rr. There is
NO change to the electrical performance since all of the mods are inside the
existing tubular elements.
