[TowerTalk] OB17-4 & WARC7 combo

[paul@w8aef.com]

My WARC-7 is on a tower by itself so can't help on the stacking, but --

My WARC-7 had no front to back on 30m.  A long story but I wound up moving 
the shorting wires on the reflector out 8" from the Force 12 destruction 
manual and now it shows in excess of 20dB f/b at 10.15 MHz.

Your smileage may vary.
