Looks great but I recommend a longer mast to get the bottom of your vertical elements above the tower. I've played with vertical Yagi's a fair amount and on a antenna analyzer I always see major reactance, as well as other not so nice readings, when they aren't at least three feet above the tower. The coupling is the problem. Of course the verticals couple with the steel mast as well but not a lot a person do about that but the tower seems to distort things even more than the mast in my own experiences.
Then after he did that, someone else would find an issue and recommend something different be done.
Hey thanks but for now i think i will stay with what i got. You could be right about what your saying as i can not say otherwise. I have very good swr's and have talked from one end of the US to the other as well as 3 oversea;s country's and i think thats as good as any rig out there dose. On the other hand I would like to thank everyone who helped along the way I could not have done it without your help and this forum to look for help. Now that being said I hope I can help someone else along the way. God Bless you all. silvereagle1.
