[TowerTalk] stacking antennas

[n4kg@juno.com]

You didn't say how high you plan for the
rotating towers.

40M plays VERY well at 80 to 100 ft
(from Eastern USA).  At 150 ft to 200
ft, you will own the LP but probably find
lower antennas beating you on short paths
in the late afternoon / early evening.

A good 90 ft tower solution is 10M at 30 / 60 / 90
and 2L40 at 100 ft.  You can reverse the top 10 
and 40M if you want a BIG 40M antenna.

A nice stack arrangement on 20M is 40 and 90 ft.
(or 50 and 100 ft).  One option might be 40 / 90
on 20M and 50 / 80 on 15.  GL with the guy placement!

It is nice to have 15M separate from 10 and 20
because you are often on 10 / 15 or 15 / 20
at the same time.  Can you go with 3 towers?

I like 120 ft for a high antenna height for the 
high bands.  Tribanders at 30 / 60 / 120 ft
plus 40M at 90 ft makes a powerful combination
with one antenna at each guy point.

I like 40 ft for my LOW antenna on 10, 15, and
20M.  Using separate towers, a modest but
very good arrangement would be 40 / 60 ft on 10M,
40 / 70 ft on 15M, and 40 / 90 ft on 20M.  Fix the
bottom antenna on Eu or use a side arm rotor.
These can all be done on R25 tower.
