I too have been very happy with the results of 2 at right angles. What's heard on one is entirely different than what's on the other in a lot of instances. So simple, I kick myself for never trying it a long time ago! What I'd recommend doing, Dennis, is to erect two with matching transformers on opposite ends. If you put up one, it should be easy to put up a second parallel one. I wonder if two side by side would have any interaction? .........Walt. _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
