Subject: 6mtr over C3E

All,

I'm curious how badly I've screwed up the pattern of my C3E. I have a 72'
tower with a 15' mast. 4' of the mast is inside the tower and at about
1-1.25' above the top of the tower is the C3E. With the total remaining
amount of mast above the tower, I have a vertical at the very top (consumes
about 6-8" of mast). A set of Satellite arrays just below that, say another
6". That didn't leave very much room to stuff a small 5 element log period
in the middle for 6. Here is what I've done.

the c3e is about 1.25' above the top of the tower, the 6mtr beam is 4.5-5'
above that and then the sat beams are at the top. I have to plan for the
sat beams to allow for 180 degrees of elevation so they can flip oven on
themselves. I've squished it together as much as I can to give me the most
room above the c3e. Hy-Gain on their web sites says between 10 and 6 - 5',
between 6 and 2 - 4'. Well how bad off am I and how will it effect me?

Thanks for the help. This stacking stuff is kinda messy. I just didn't
really want a 20' mast sticking out in the breeze down here in the jr
tornado alley of Atlanta.

Alan
