[TowerTalk] Info on K0XG products.

[Steve Lott]

Most significant difference from a ‘normal’
Install is the guy anchor distance from tower base
So that hf Yafo’s have boom and yagi clearance
>From the guy wires as they turn
There is an Excellent excel
Spreadsheet tool
Created by Hal somebody
I have the creator’s call at home
Email me for a link to it

But an example is my 130 foot install
With six yagi s
The anchors are 170 feet from the base
