Ken's not right about this -- N7ML has a 6-high (I think it's 6) C-3 stack,
with 2 active elements per band.  2-high C-3 stacks like mine are quite
common, although to be fair mine have been converted to C-3Es, with 3
active elements on 10.  There are also a number of 3-highs using a C-4XL on
top and c-3s below.
