BARRETT  912  Multiwire  broadbands  can  be  mounted  either  in  a  horizontal  or  inverted  'V' 
configuration. The minimum distance between the masts is 32 metres for the 27 metres mast and 
60 metres for the 54 metres mast. The recommended mast height is 15 metres. The balun hangs 
below the antenna. 

In the horizontal configuration the major radiation direction is broadside to the antenna.
