Currently the top loop is at only 20ft but I am making many contacts.
Soon
however they will be placed off a sidearm on the tower.
The top loop could then be as high as 80 ft.

I have read and read about this topic. Does anyone have any first hand
knowledge of 6M height above ground comparisons especially for stacked
loops? Thanks....


6m is line-of-sight, so higher is better than lower.

IT IS??? !!! Then, I guess my confirmed QSO's with Japan, Australia,
Greenland, Chile, and others -- plus all states except R.I. (sigh...)
from western Colorado (while running just 9.5 watts) simply never
happened.

OOPS! - sorry, I forgot about 50M DX - skip does happen at 50mhz sometimes
I hear its an enjoyable pass-time to attempt long-distance short-duration
contacts on 50mhz.
Does ducting also occur on 50 ?
