Subject: FORCE12 C31 / WARC antenna stacking
Author: N2TK <n2tk@earthlink.net>
Date: 01-Jun-2000 13:59:42
Was told by Natan that the MAG-240N has no resonances on any other ham band
but 40m. I am replacing my 402CD with the Mag-240N based on that since the
402CD resonates on 15m and 17m and presently interacts with my A3WS.

I would think that x40N elements parallel to a warc band antenna would raise
the dickens with 18 Mhz on the Warc antenna. Natan?
