Does the 40 meter addition change the 20 meter reflector beam to the center beam and the reflector
beam to 15 meters?

I am assuming the A3S by itself works as the shortest beam is 10 meters the 15 meter beam is the
middle and the 20 meter as the longest?

TIA


The Cushcraft A3S beam has 3 elements. The driven element is setup to
be used as a rotatable dipole on 40 meters. It works a lot better than
it sounds.

The spacing of the elements on the boom does not change.

Thanks.

Between the Rotor and the A3s/ and the Dipole getting it up to 40ft should be a real pain.
