Uh, I hate to burst your bubble but the tower top amps WILL take a hit no better than a SBC mounted up-top. The only way around it is to run 5/8 heliax up the tower and put an XR2 radio at the bottom behind a polyphaser.

I'd like to limit towertop equipment to an amp, since its easy to troubleshoot and replace. This will let me locate the radios in the shack at the base, and troubleshoot easily without a climb, or 20 trips up and down replacing one bit at a time. I'm only planning on a 250mw or 500mw amp. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- WISPA Wants You!
