Back in the day I ran set of stacked Wilson V quads. They worked very well for me. There were several stations running them in the area. I would think you could get better performance from a 4 element than with the stacked 2's I had

Call George at Lightening Antennas he will sell you new stubs and answer your questions. He has helped me several times in the past.

I use QRZ just about every day for logging and QSO info. I have posted a couple of things asking a question and the know it all guys pop out of the woodwork to tell you how stupid you are immediately. It's a good site for some things to glen info and to get a laugh or 2 now and then.

Alpha Delta makes a great switch 2 or 4 antennas or radios however you want to run it. It should handle that easily. They are also easy to mount if you want and can be grounded as well.

As being someone that has had to deal with some guys using that it's the scourge of the world. I know lots of folks on here have heard the banjo music on channel 28 and other channels and that's courtesy of the so called world of sound in the hands of some really aggravating fools lol.

This was here in KY Friday night

I have one of the Delta mics and have used it on several different radios. I get great audio reports and is a good looking mic as well.

Could see it down here in Ky pretty well. It has made 6 meters blow up. First time I have heard much at all on 6.

Water got in around the connectors. The coax was sealed fine but wasn't over the connectors. Sometimes when you turn your back stuff happens.

Oh its all good it's all good info and I enjoy hearing and seeing what others are using. Might even get a good idea or 2.

I have a climber guy and a couple ground guys to help. We have put this antenna and a couple of others up and stacked both towers. Have a home made gin pole that makes things easier.

Thats the plan to seal it up at the feed point. It wouldn't be a bad job except for getting this beam down from 83 feet up lol.

It's a Mosley A-511 their 11 meter beam. You solder the center pin to the hot side of the driven element which is insulated from the boon and solder the shield to the other side which is grounded to the boom. This antenna was built special for me on a 3 inch boom and all the large elements like...

Well there is no pl259 to seal. This antenna is direct fed with center conductor to on side and the braid on the ground side. So going to try and fix it right this time.

Well I knew better and thought I had it sealed. It's about 150 foot of RF213/U. You can bet it will be done right this time.
