[TowerTalk] Second antenna options?

[Al Kozakiewicz]

There's always a ground mounted vertical, such as the Butternut HF6V or HF9V.  Considering that they are omnidirectional and long (in wavelengths), they are quite effective on 40-30-20m and will handle full power.

They work on the higher bands as well, but if you ground mount them terrain absoption becomes a significant factor.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Second antenna options?

With a tower in-place that doesn't have enough height to stack a second beam, and without another high spot to use for something like an elevated dipole, what are some good options for a second antenna that covers one or two of the same bands as the primary beam?
