Tower Talkians:
  Our club is preparing for Field Day. I have a 6M5-X ( 6 meter, 5 elements on 
an 18 ft boom). It is a bit too much for our 20 to 30 foot mast so I am 
considering taking off the last boom section with the shortest director which 
would make it a four element beam on a 12 foot boom. This is very easy since 
the boom comes in four sections. No changes in element spacing or length would 
be done.
   
  Will we still have a reasonable amount of gain, directivity and F/B if we do 
this?
   
  73, Dennis W0JX/8
