[TowerTalk] 40 meter vertical ant

[wa3afs at inav.net]

If you have the space --- 2 verticals phased work very well.  I have used two coaxial inverted L's (actually they were 
almost entirely vertical) phased at my previous two QTHs with very nice results.  (I am presently using a 4 square of 
coaxial inverted L's which is even better)

Phasing can be done with delay lines or the COMTEK system.  I have used both and they both work (The COMTEK 
system gives some extras which are very nice (off either end and also a figure 8 pattern)

Good luck and let me know if you want any further details.
