    BIG antenna, BIG tower, BIG rotator, BIG bucks, BIG job. 

    If my goal was to build something with that kind of performance, I'd 
stack two XM240's/402CD's. With that system it's Ham IV's, 25G and VERY 
similar performance to the big full-sized antenna PLUS selectable angles and 
paths. 
Tres' cool!
