I would say bandwidth. Large aspect ratio antenna elements have a narrow
band of resonance. It seems to me that there are some companies out
there that have tower kits that run 3 to 4 wires on spreaders so the
electrical diameter of the tower is increased. This will allow the tower
to have lower VSWR over the +/-15KHz required.


I've been in on installing one of those kits.. lot of fun when you have the
backup tower for the station only a few dozens of yards away.. you don't
want to forget to connect that ground in at least two places on the way down
the tower..


That's great. Tell us how it works out when you tune it up.
