    stacking a set of 4,s

    Cophasing 2 x 4 element will give you 2-3 more db gain if they are seperated enough.Stacking is best done up and down.My setup was a maco 4 at 60 feet and a maco 4 at 36 feet on a 72 foot crankup.The best thing that comes out of stacking is a cleaner pattern the top lobe gets knock down lower.

    Maco 8 element flat side vs. Joegunn audio 8

    Super bowl is not ruled by Jogunn's antenna's most are Maco flatsides or homemade flatside.Jogunn's are good antenna's but the booms are too short.Gain comes from boom length.Cophase some Maco 4's and you will have some real fun with those expensive aluminum ladder's in the sky!

    KENWOOD TL-922A

    The TL-922 will work much better than any amp you are using.Don't try to over drive!3-500z have some nice glass audio if you don't push them.Do not pay attention to getting big peak numbers and you will find out how special these 500z tubes are.

    Jo-Gunn: Son of a Gunn

    When it comes down to it in the real world. All of these ground planes are real close in gain.You can run a $50.00 ground plane and $450.00 ground plane.You are splitting hairs on gain.Now some are built better but that is about it.Cheerleaders flame on!

    Knock off Base antennas

    Astrobeam element spacing give it a killer backdoor but when you tighten up the back the gain drops.I had one back in the late 70's works real good to knock down locals you don't want to hear.
