[TowerTalk] XM240 to Moxon

[Stan Stockton]

Peter,

I would expect that if you have three 20M Yagis stacked for 20M that 
they are spaced something like a wavelength apart and the difference is 
in the angle that is covered by that high one which is probably up 
something like 50m.  EZNEC is not going to show you the angle at which 
the signals are traveling between you and the West Coast of the US so 
that might explain why when you throw in that high one you see that much 
difference.  You probably don't see a HUGE difference in those cases 
between all three and just the high one alone like you see when you 
compare the lower two to all three.  In the case of comparing two 
different stacks at the same heights, the results should be more like 
what the software would predict.

Stan, K5GO
