Hi,

I'm getting frustrated of the poor performance of my 40 m inverted V
dipole.

I was thinking of putting up a 2 elt. beam instead (40-2CD or similar). 
But I can only put it up about 16 m high.

Does anyone have experience with the performance of 40m beams this high (or
low !) ?
	
Is it worth the trouble/money for the beam + a heavier rotor or should I
try to put up a sloper system ?

Please let me know what you think.

As usual I'll compile the answers and send the summary back to the list.

Tnx es 73
