[TowerTalk] Force 12 Stack

[Ron Arnett]

I am seriously considering stacking two Force 12 multi-band beams on a 100
foot tower to be constructed, hopefully later this fall.

I would like to place one triband antenna at the 65 foot height and a
tribander with the 40 meter 2L extension at the 100 foot level.  I am
considering the classic C-3 7L(18 foot boom) at 65 foot with either the
C-4XL 9L(30 foot boom) or C-4SXL 8L(23 foot boom) at 100 foot.

I will phase the two beams on 10, 15 and 20 M so it would be very desirable
to have them electrically matched as much as is possible.

Questions to the reflector are: Is this a good plan (these will be my only
HF antennas) and which of the F12 antennas are the best electrical match?  I
am assuming that the better electrical match will perform better when
phased.  Please let me know of any fallacies in my logic.

Thanks.
