[TowerTalk] 10 Meter 2 Stack, 3 Stack vs. Higher Beam

[donovanf at starpower.net]

Hank,

Although a single very high 10 meter Yagi is by far the best choice at this point in the solar cycle, it will be inadequate when strong F-layer propagation returns.

Three equally spaced large Yagis on a 120-140 foot tower will be far superior to a single Yagi.  Of course, you will need stack switching and the Array Solutions Stackmatch is an excellent choice.

73!
