The numbers I remember are 60' up and 60' apart. The yagis are of the
Telrex 15M532 variety. One big difference is that this array is much
quieter than say a single 5 at 60' because it has a narrower beamwidth.
In fact, after the CQWW this year W1FEA/6 commented on how weak we seemed
on 15, yet he heard the #2 station working multipliers up the band with
a huge signal. So there is definitely some pattern in the JA array.
