Horizontal 'stacking' does work, but the main lobe is
only about 30 degrees wide....too narrow for EU / UA /
AF / Middle East IMHO.
I have several antennas aimed at each continent for quick
direction change. I would recommend one antenna parked
on Europe and the other aimed around 120 degrees to hear
S. Africa / S.A. / Carib. All of AF / SA is then available within
a few seconds of rotation.
It might be useful to set the south antenna for a North Stop
on the rotor, using this antenna primarily for AF / SA / Pacific
and the other antenna for EU / UA / JA.
A third beam would provide even more versatililty at night
when 20M can be open to all continents at once.
