[TowerTalk] tri banders vs mono banders

[Bruce Makas]

Has anyone ever done any analysis of stacked tribanders (KT34XA's) vs the
performance of similar long boom mono banders? Contrary to some of the
opinions I read recently, I would think that a stack of 3  would be a great
deal simpler than 3 stacks of 3. Even if the tri banders are mechanically
more complex?

M2 suggests a stacking spacing of 38 to 42 feet so that would be 150/110/70
or so but Mike also says that computer modeling of the KT34XA/KT36XA is
very difficult.

Any thoughts on this?
