[TowerTalk] Vertical installation 2 questions

[John Hudson]

Question #1 - I have a TX-455 with a 4 element Steppir 140' from the shack
and I'm installing a 43' vertical but the spot I want to plant it is about
50' from the tower (90' from the shack). The tower is due west of the
vertical. Will the tower , which is usually at 45-50' up, interact with the
vertical, which I plan on using for 80-160 (I'm going to play with T-top
loading and inverted L configs.) 

 

Question #2 - On a T-top loading config. does this cause any directivity or
is the pattern of the vertical unchanged?

 

Thanks & 73

 

John
