[TowerTalk] BLU Switching Between Vertically Stacked 2 Meter Yagis

I'd appreciate any comments in regard to the value of being able to
switch between Both, Lower and Upper antennas in a vertical stack of
two, M2 2m18xxx long yagis that are at 40 meters (20 wavelengths) above
ground with a 14.5' vertical stacking distance between them.

BLU switching apparently works great for 6 meters (to change the
vertical angle(S) of radiation) but, I'm not sure that this would be of
much value above 6 meters. (No, I don't have the means to add a 2nd
rotor for vertical rotation.)

If you're already doing this on 2 meters, how are you implementing the
remote BLU switching?

Thanks for your input.

73, Jim, K0MHC
