[Towertalk] 3 high stack

[Barry]

Peter,
I have a 3 TH7s (25, 40 and 76 ft). The upper two are phased. The 
bottom one is usually used with the second radio, but occasionally with 
the run radio, depending on band and condx.
There have been plenty of times the lowest TH7 was several S-units 
better than either of the upper two alone or phased, to Europe on 10m. 
It's been sometimes better on 15 (often the same) and never better on 
20 (usually worse).
In your case, I don't think that low antenna will do you much good 
because:
1. I'm on the east coast and your not. You need lower angles.
2. The "lower is best" scenario is fading away with the sunspots. 
73,
Barry W2UP
