[Towertalk] Antenna choices in a restricted neighborhood

[n4kg@juno.com]

Yep, reflectors can be lined up in band order with virtually
no destructive interaction.  I built a 12, 15, 17 2L reflector
Yagi using a 17M DE fed with ladderline and separate 
reflectors.  Also, look at the F12 C3S and the new XR5.
