Regarding the 30 degree fixed elevation...I can tell you this will work just fine from my experience. The beanwidth is not like a 10 element yagi with sharp drop offs that require precise aiming. You should be good to go.

Guys, I want to mount the Elk dual band 144/440 antenna up on my 85' tower. Can I get away with a fixed elevation of about 30 degrees and horizontal polarization? I recognize that this is a compromise, but I'd like to avoid the additional complexity of dealing with an azimuth rotor. Any thoughts appreciated. 73 de harry, W6DXO _______________________________________________ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
