[TowerTalk] Phillystran

[n4kg@juno.com]

IF you ever want to put other antennas on the tower,
then Phillystran is a good idea.

BTW,  on the high bands, an antenna at 35 to 40 ft
OFTEN beats higher antennas during the day, even on 20M. 

My TH6 at 80 ft SUCKS on 10M where my lower
antennas (at 40 and 60 ft) are ALWAYS better.

Remember, NO  SINGLE  ANTENNA  HEIGHT 
can cover ALL the angles supported by the ionosphere.

The BEST solution is to have high and low antennas.
