[TowerTalk] Stacking Antennas

[Jimmy O. Floyd]

I must not be seeing all of the e-mail responses to my query....... Sorry
folks and if you ask a question and I do not respond please send direct. 

Nat, in answer to your question..... We may end up buying antennas but the
two mentioned are antennas that we have on hand. Just trying to save some
dollars on an already way over budget project. :) 


Thanks

Maybe it is just me but given the cost of the Rohn 45 and Phillystran, why
not have the same model beams on the tower? 

There was an article in the recent NCJ that talked about stacking odd or
different yagis and to me, it was a lot of work to clean up the patterns.
Make it easy on yourself and the performance would come with it...
