Ah!

Sorry for wasting your time Ken.  The blasted manual has no stacking information!
Hang on.  I'll ask 'SPS...

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know the dimensions (mainly horizontal spacing) specified by Tonna for stacking  their 1296 MHz 35 element arrays ? I
know  that they sell a stacking frame and harness,  so they have obviously  decided on a compromise re side-lobes etc. The 35
element clone I built from old Tonna parts performs so well that I want to build another, spurred on by the fact that I watched ( on
emeham) a WSJT contact on 1296 between G4CCH and a Spanish station who was using  2x  35 element antennas and a bare 60 watts.  I
have circa 200 watts on the band,  so  I aim to make that 2-way off the Moon on 23 before I'm SK !
