I'm considering putting up a tower to get my satellite antennas off the ground. As long as I'm doing that, I'm considering putting a small HF beam up there too (maybe the 2 or 3 element SteppIR?).
Has anyone done that? Do you put the HF antenna below the AZ/EL setup? How much room would I leave between them? BTW - I have the larger M2 satellite antennas, not the LEO-pack, so the antennas are mounted near the middle of the booms, not at the ends.
I imagine I'd split the G-5500 into separate AZ and EL rotators, placing the AZ rotator in the tower.
Thoughts?
Thanks.
