Q: Moving forward, do you have a site visit planned to determine mounting requirements for the two X wing Antennas and take measurements?

A: Yes, I can schedule a vendor meeting so all vendors can visit all the sites if needed.

X-Wing antenna can be mounted to tower or HF mast system, the antenna will need a clear view of S-SW skyline. Most mast X-Wing mounts have two take-off angles, one for "near equator) and the other for "northern distances". We will use northern distances or lower angle setting.
