I don't understand. I thought you were in Indiana and wanting to
optimize your path to England.

As I said above mine is not a planar array. The computor program I use
is AO-PRO
by Beasley


That's the best there is in my opinion. You are fortunate to have a
copy since he no longer sells to hams.

Thanks for the contact The most interesting thing that I am looking
forward to is operation at the bottom of the cycle to see if there is
still propagation but only for low angles. As you gat older you look
for any excuse to stay indoors


You're welcome. Here is a long but interesting story related to low
angle TOAs. W3CRA was a legend and I can vividly remember him working
one Asian after another that I could not detect the slightest trace of
using a 3 element Yagi at 60' from my home in NC at that time:

Good luck with your new system!
