[TowerTalk] JK 402 versus CC XM-240

[Gedas]

I realize this is getting OT from the original post but if you already 
own a 2L 40m yagi and are thinking about replacing it because of 
inadequate F/B consider transforming it into a 2L rotatateable phased array.

As an experiment several years I converted my XM-240 into a phased array 
of my own design because the F/B was so poor regardless of height above 
ground. In the end I was very impressed with it's performance. The mod 
was simple and took less then several days to implement. Some F/B 
examples can be seen in this video I shot (just be gentle as it was the 
very first video I ever made or put on YouTube and had no clue what I 
was doing).
