[VHFcontesting] One last questoion - For now

[Michael A. Urich]

First thanks for all the comments and suggestions so far.  Its exciting
putting this land deal together and planning for a real station.  I can't
wait for my daughter to graduate so I can make this happen.  And this is
much more fun discussing, than bitching about the league :-)

First, yeah, I knew you needed flexible feedline around the rotor, I was
having a senior moment so please forgive me.

Second, yes, I would like to have a second FT-736 (or 726) to go with mine
for monitoring more than one band at a time.  Budget people BUDGET, I'm
not a multi-multi-millionare like Senators Kerry & Edwards OK.

Third, I'm only planning on one antenna per band at the time and only for
A/B/C/D, so don't tell me about "H" frames for D/9/E OK, but thanks
anyway.

Now the question, the boom lengths are as follows, 50-28', 144-24',
222-17' & 430-14'.  I'm going to consult with C3i but how would you stack
them A/B/C/D from the bottom up or would you invert them and do D/C/B/A or
possibly mix them?  I want to keep the mast above the tower as short as
possible so what's your experience?

Also I have been poking around quite a bit on the net looking at ham
web-sites of various set ups and this is what's driving the questions.
