[TowerTalk] 402CD + Skyhawk

[Phil Clements]

I have had a TH-11 for many years.
I agree with Steve. I have tried several 40m
dipoles and yagis 10' above it, at different boom
angles, and there was interaction on one antenna or
another every time. I just will not take a chance anymore
that the pattern(s) will be distorted.
I think the reason some folks think they have no problems
with interaction is that they are going by VSWR alone.
Lord only knows what their patterns look like.
