I have a 75 foot tower that I have stacked the T6 logs upon using the WX0B
stack match. The first antenna is on a rotor at 75 feet, the second is at 42
feet and fixed on EU. The antennas have worked past my expectations and the
stack, over time, has really proved to be worth the efforts. This is a good
system for those daring to stack antennas in residential neighborhoods. The
antennas are only on 14 foot booms and the guy wire supports for the tower
only go out 50 feet. So there is room to breath- I decided to stack the
T6's vs getting a bigger tribander, ie: Skyhawk and others, because the
models looked to match the single bigger antennas in potential towards EU
while providing the advantages of using a stacked system for various changes
in propagation and for fun in contests. The T6's are very durable and take
full legal limit- I also get 5 bands with a single feedline, not bad eh?
The downside is that these are not monobanders, they are not on 35 foot
booms, and a replacement set of antenna boom Ubolts costed me around $30
bucks from Tennadyne-.....but from a survivalist point of view, my stack will
be the last one standing/working in a variety of conditions- and when you
live where I live, that's a key point-
