I am seriously considering replacing my old Mosley Pro 67A with a new SteppIR 4
element yagi and above or below it a 2 element 40 meter yagi.
Due to tower limitations ( 16 sq ft) I need to use a small 40 meter beam and I
am looking for positive and negative comments on all commercially available 2
element 40 meter yagi beams. The tower height is 68 feet and is Rohn 25 G
guyed at the top and the middle with 1/4 Phillystrand. Your comments will be
appreciated.
I also have a problem about the spacing between the SteppIR and the 2 element
40. I believe I am limited by tower considerations to about 6 feet of
separation and I am concerned about interaction especially on 15 meters. Any
one have any experience in this area. I dont model but has anyone modeled a 2
element 40 over or under a 4 element 15 meter monibander on a 32 foot boom as
the SteppIR is configured. Anyone good at modeling willing to do a study?
This is a great group and I have learned a lot. With 50 years in ham radio
there is more to learn each day. Thanks Van W4GIW
