I've been following the mail on this subject.
I'm going to start my new tower this summer. The base and anchors are
already in. It's going to be a 137' rotating 55g tower with three F12
C31XR's stacked.
I've been using HFTA to come up with the best compromise heights
(compromise as I'm trying to get the best results on all 3 bands).
Then it dawned on me. Should I be worried about stacking results or
individual heights. Isn't the height of an antenna for a specific band
at a certain time of day more of an advantage than the combined
stacking?, and of course it's still a compromise since we're talking
about tribanders. Don't get me wrong, I'm still going to try to come up
with the best stacking distances for my location, but it seems to me
that the most important feature of a stack is having 3 different heights
to choose from, isn't it?
I sure wish the project was finished, it would have come in handy this
past weekend.
