An ARRL Member writes: The location is very near a steel water tank which is approximately 32 feet high with a diameter of approximately 25 feet. It is in the shape of a cylinder with a steel enclosed top and sits on a concrete base. I have 2 questions. (1) would the center of the steel top be a good place or bad place to mount an 80/40 meter vertical antenna and/or a 2 meter vertical? (2) would the water tank have negative effects on a nearby 20/15/10 meter beam on top of a 40 foot tower? The tower would be approximately 100 feet away from the tank. |

(1) I would think that it would be a very good antenna location but for 2 meters higher is better. (2) I would think that the effect would be small but a tower higher than 40 feet would be better. 73 Don |
