[Towertalk] OPTIMIZED ANTENNA SYSTEM

[David Robbins]

Optimum for what? And from where?

For my use I would consider a stack of 6's to be too narrow for
contesting from the northeast.  Up here a stack of 4's is probably
better to cover more of Europe at one time.  From farther west maybe the
6's would be better as the angular spread to cover Europe for contesting
is smaller, or if you are dxing, ragchewing, or handling point to point
traffic the 6's may be reasonable.
