I am negotiating the placement of a 4-element MonstIR on top of a 200' tower at the St. Johns inlet of the Atlantic Ocean. If I proceed, only one antenna can be used and it must be placed at the 200' level with no opportunity to go lower.
Before moving further with negotiations, I want to ensure that the plots don't produce some unintended consequences owing to the unusually high height on the upper bands. I realize that as height increases, the number of lobes along with associated maxima and minima field strength increases. DX is a concern, stateside contesting is not. Anyone willing to run some elevation profiles for 40M & 20M? Tnx!
