Getting back into FM DX

SomeRadioGuy

I am moving back to the lower 48 from Alaska (Can't say where yet) and I will be getting back into the FM DX Arena. I found a screaming good deal on 2 Broadcast Grade 5 element yagis, the SAMCO FM159. I found a broadcasting company clearing out their warehouse and sold me the 2 antennas for $20 each.. when theyre normally $300 to $400 brand new. Shipping is going to be about $110.

I plan on stacking them to create a bigger null in back and more of a lobe going forward.

My 4-element Stellar Labs is still packed up in the box because I am not allowed to use antennas here...and why should I? the noise levels are still too darn high. Nearest place to use it is at the local park 2 blocks down the road, with signs of vagrant activities by the creek :(
Once I get my own place again, it should be much easier to hook it back up and let it run.
