I do not have Az/El rotator. The 6M8GJ 8 element is about 30 feet above , and at the apex of, the barn roof. The orientation of the barn is generally also WNW. It's predictable, never fails and I have made a few EME contacts on 6m looking that way towards moonset and an Elevation of about 28 degrees and down. -- Best regards, Bob KD7YZ Win7-64bit + K3 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
