Bob, please clarify that you are able to operate 1 radio on 15M and another
on 20M, both on the C31XR right? That's great! I know you could use the
C31XR on 10-15-20 and one of the dipoles or the 40M yagi, but I wanted to be
real sure you mean that you can also use 2 bands on the C31XR. I think
that's what you mean, since Jack was asking that question specifically.

I also have a C31XR at 70ft, but I only have a single feedline from shack to
tower (600ft). However, I could install a switchbox at the tower and run 3
feedlines up to the antenna, then control the switchbox remotely.
Hmmmmmmmm........ Thanks 73
