appreciated tks    Lynn


Lynn,
     I plugged the two antennas into the MARC program and found the
following rotors were recommended given a 10ft. mast and 70 mph max wind
speed:
HDR 300A
T2X Tailtwister
HAM IV/V
Yaesu 2800SDX

I'm not sure if a taller mast and placement of the antennas up the mast
would make a difference or not.  But for sure, the max wind speed for your
geographical area does make a difference.  You need to know what it is.  I
would highly recommend spending $12.50 (including s/h) and buying the MARC
(Mast And Rotor Calculator) program.  It is available from:
