[TowerTalk] Stacking

[nn4t@bellsouth.net]

I apologize if this topic has been discussed before, but I don't
remember it coming up. I have modest stacks of monobanders for 10, 15
and 20 on separate towers. On each the top antenna rotates while the
lower is fixed on Europe. When running Europe I always try to align the
antennas as best I can. My assumption is the better aligned the
antennas, the better the pattern. My question is, how critical is this
alignment? Is there a point where some cancellation/degradation of the
pattern begins to take place? Or would having one antenna at 30 degrees
and the other at 55 give you broader coverage to the various countries
of Europe? Thank you. Steve, NN4T.
