Hi Larry

My 8 circle has probably 5 to 8 feet different elevation.  I've checked the 
performance carefully and I see not degradation.

Last week I removed the Antennas amps and disconnected the Antenna feedlines 
at the phase controllers, this keeps ground currents on lightning hits to 
nearby trees etc from damaging the phase controller.  I'm chicken, it's 
costly when array gets damaged.

Good luck, 73

Thanks,
Dave Anderson, K4SV
