Introduction

This station is located on a small hilltop approx 40 miles southwest of Belfast, with sloping foreground in most all directions, the best direction is to the USA.

The antenna farm has only started to grow as past few years along with the new house, which takes a lot of time and money.

Based on time spent with HF Terrain Assessment by N6BV and among other sources I have concluded that I will achieve gain in the region of (1-1.7db) with two stacked yagis but most important I will not improve on the excellent complete take off angels that a single antenna will produce on this sloping foreground and therefore intend to run with single fixed yagis.
