Well, after a semi-serious effort in WPX this past weekend it is finally clear to me why I've heard others have a beam or two fixed on Europe. Quite often I'd be working some other part of the world and then discover a mult over there. Sometimes I could work them, others not and I'd have to decide if I wanted to swing the beam around. Right now, I've got two towers, both 72'. On one, I have a lone C31XR. On the other, I have a XM240 and a WARC beam 15' above it. My question is, would another C31 be effective bolted to the side of either of these towers, and if so, which one/how far below the top should it be? It seems like if I put it on the first tower below that C31 I might be able to play the phasing game to europe, but once aimed there I really didn't have any trouble getting thru. I also wonder if the beam below would mess up the pattern for any other direction. What do you think? 73, and thanks! -Brian n8wrl -------------------------------------------- Force12Talk mailing list provided as a service by Force 12 Antennas, Inc.
