[TowerTalk] multiple antennas on same tower

[john at kk9a.com]

Quick switching and the ability to run in two different directions is nice
at times but as Stan said it is a lot of work. My preference when
operating from South America was to run Europe when it was open and the US
when it was not. So maybe a rotatable stack and then a single "mult"
antenna pointing a different direction would suffice.  Like Stan, I enjoy
spending time dreaming of antennas and modeling various configurations.
Modeling software can be a pretty inexpensive investment and would answer
many of your configuration questions.

It occurs to me that there is little need for you to minimize the strength of
your signal to any location between you and either USA or Europe.  In fact
anyone who calls is someone who gives you points.

A lot of the enjoyment is spending time dreaming and planning what to do. 
All
I am saying is that 18 Yagi antennas and the associated switching to cover
20/15/10 in two fixed directions is a lot of work.
