See if I have this right:  The Stack-master- does not require the same
lengths of coax for each feedline.  However, it requires 10 control wires,
and I only have 8 available.

The Stack-match- requires that the feedlines be of equal length.  It only
requires 5 control wires, so I could do that.  They mention locating the box
at the midpoint (DUH), OR at the tower base.  At the base works better for
my situation, but what do you do with the "extra" (say 35 ft) coax required
to make the feedlines equal length if you put the match at the base of the
tower?  I guess the "problem" is exagerated the further the antennas are
spaced.  Comments?  Tnx!  73 - John
