[TowerTalk] Tribanders on separate towers

[Ron Hill]

I have been using the Tennadybe T-10 Log for several years now as I removed
mono banders.  5 Bands, on two towers 100' apart.  I feed them through a
WX0B Stack Match giving me upper, lower, or both with the flip of a
switch.  I generally keep one pointing at Hawaii and one pointing at
Europe, but can rotate them to the same direction as it sometimes will
increase a weak signal.  The antennas are at 150' and 110'.  Great system
for me, and about a half s unit less gain than the big mono banders.
