Howdie..  lets go back in time a few years... I'm looking for a  Cushcraft
DX-120 2 meters array. ( 20 ele colinear array)

If anyone has one  of these laying under the house or being used as
a TV ant *grin* and wish to sell please contact me.

I have managed to get a hold of 2 from the last request , so now I have 3.
Just need ONE more for the array. Also managed to pick up a set for 4  for 432
and 4 for 220, Don't have 220 at this time running but maybe some day. For
now 
I guess it will work as a good TV ant  *grin* 

Anyone have the OPTIMUM stacking distance to space 2 of the arrays
apart on a horz boom for best gain and rejection. And about what kind of
DB Gain Im looking at.? I assume I can only use 2 of the 3 for now.

Also have  2 each M2 12 ele 144 mhz beams ( 19 foot booms ) I plan to stack
and see what performs better. 

The goal is to see if I get better performance from 80 ele in a colinear array
or 24 ele in a stacked yagi setup.  

Comments ?
