Base antenna

Putting up a 6 element beam. Is it better to have the whole ant above the tower or is it ok to be down around the tower? Jim/238

What kind of beam is it? If you can get the bottom of the lower elements above the top of the tower its the best way to go.

Not a star, just a straight 6. Jim/238

I had a 5 element Star series up for a while several years ago. It was made like a tank. It didn't perform as well as the Lightening 4+ quad I replaced it with.
