I'm using two #10 stranded copper wires, spaced roughly 6 inches using some old insulators I bought at hamfests as spacers. It roughly doubles the SWR bandwidth. The only downsides are more wind load and greater visibility. I would expect four wires to be roughly twice as much of all three. :) Expect a small difference in the tuning (resonance). 73, Jim K9YC _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw?
