[TowerTalk] Force 12 Stack

[n4kg@juno.com]

The optimum C3 stacking distance can be increased
by adding a 10M reflector (C3E).

With a 100 ft tower, I would recommend a stack of 3
tribanders at 40, 70, and 100 ft. with a switching 
matrix that allows ALL combinations of 1, 2, or 3
antennas.  

During midday I would bet you find the LOW antenna
alone is often the best antenna for DX on all bands,
especially to Africa, and sometimes to Europe and Japan
during high sunspot activity.

Contrary to popular opinion, I'll also bet you find the
HIGH antenna to be best to "close in" Caribbean /
Central American stations, especially late in the
afternoon / early evening when the MUF is falling
and from southern locations, only the lower angle
single hop is supported.
