Hi TT'ians.

I now have 3 phased verticals on 40.  They work good for dx'ing
but suck for domestic contesting.  I'd like to put up a dipole
here but the problem is it would go right over the top of the
verticals.  The dipole would be at about the 70 foot point up the
trees putting it about 30 feet or so above the verticals.  Would
that screw up the pattern on the verticals by having a dipole
right above them?  Probably wouldn't help things.  73 and HNY
