[TowerTalk] Tribander Stacking

[Roger (K8RI) on TT]

"As a personal choice", regardless of where you are located in VE3 land, 
a "fixed" tribander will limit access to portions of the US. Im in 
Michigan, and find everything between 90 and 280,  necessary if I 
exclude Alaska and most of Canada, while the stacked pair would take 
care of all.
The single, fixed antenna splitting the difference on the US would be a 
quick switch, but the sides would quickly fall off to be filled in by 
the stack.  Me?  Even with the land and budget, I doubt I'd go for more 
than a stacked pair

Even in NE VE3, you have between 90 and 270 or 20 for the US.

My first inclination was to stack 3 antennas and then came across the microHam stacking device which does have BOP capability. HFTA determined that I don't need a third tribander low on the tower.
