[TowerTalk] [Bulk] Re: "Magic" length from tower to first insulator

[Grant Saviers]

Good one!  I agree.

The NCJ article (Nov/Dec 2015, by N2IC) shows that for a 10/15/20 
combos/tribanders only less than 11' and very narrow windows at 28' and 
41' are ok.  And that is assuming you are willing to lose a couple of 
db's of F/B.  Throw in 12m and 17m and I suspect there is no solution 
except <11'.  That's a lot of guy grips.
