I’ve made phasing lines for two Arrow antennas. I need to shorten the 435 canles just a bit but the 2 meter phasing lines are working great. My question is how best to mount the 2 antennas on the boom. Right now I have them mounted at 90 degrees and it seems to be working real well. Open to suggestions.

Rick,
I had really good luck with ‘echelon’ mount. In other words two ‘X’ with the elements at right angles. You can see a picture of it here: http://www.w0wtn.org/img_browse.php?i=/images/field_day_2005/KK0SD_Sat_Ant.j...

Interesting. Can you describe the phasing lines a bit? 73 Glenn VE9GJ
