[TowerTalk] Fw: [CQ-Contest] Tennadyne

[T A RUSSELL]

A  short boom LP won't come close to a 3 or 4 element monobander
on any band.  Also,  NO   SINGLE   antenna (height)  will cover ALL
the angles supported by the ionosphere.  It is a good idea to have
a small multi-band beam (2 or 3 elements) at 35  to 40 ft for the
higher angles that propagate during daytime conditions on the 
high bands and bigger / higher (60 to 120 ft)  antennas for the 
night time conditions on 20 / 30 / 40 meters.  The boom of a 
204BA can be matched as a rotary dipole for either or both
30 and 40 meters with excellent performance at 80 to 100 ft.
The Force 12  4BA  covers 10, 12, 15, 17 M and could be 
stacked nicely above a 20M  monobander.

( You can NEVER have too many antennas! :-)  )
