Mine's at 72 ft on GME aluminum tower, with nothing else at all.  I never
had the 15M problem - flat 1.2:1.  Hardly any effect of the spacing of the
feed wires.

I was advised to put the EF240 (if I ever got one) at least 8-10 ft above
the C31XR.  Part of the problem has to be the close spacing of the yagi's.
