Thanks for the help. Here is what I would like to do:
I would like to take the Cushcraft 2 element 40 meter beam
and add the Lightning Bolt 5 band 2 element quad onto the
boom of the Cushcraft 2 element 40 meter beam.
I think the boom length of the 40 meter beam is 22 ft. The
boom length of the quad is 8 ft.
I have extra spreaders that will work with the Lightning Bolt
quad so that it can be mounted on the boom of the 40 meter
yagi.
Now the questions:
Will the quad see past the yagi?
Do I have to eliminate the 17 meter portion of the quad because
of the 40 meter beam?
Will the 40 meter beam see past the quad?
Will it work?
Or will I have to mount the beam and quad at 90 degrees from
one another?
Or am I wishing something that will not work?
For my tower installation I do not have room for the beam and the
quad on separate portions of the mast so is this doesn't work then
I need to just put up the quad.
Thanks for the help. If you think it will work I will give it a
try and let the reflector know how it works.
