best way to tune sticks for gain help

[High Voltage Mobile NJ]

the easiest way to tune is to tune the first antenna . get that around a 1.1 or a 1.2 you dont have to get it flat. leave the antenna on . then get ya other antenna and go about 3 inches higher than the first one . bump it down going to some base stations that you can trust and tell them to listen how loud u are and what is ya signal in S Units . try raising the back door up 3 inches more then about 2 inches more at a time. if ya station is more than 50 miles away the antenna 6 to 12 inches of height more on the back door will give ya more gain in groundwave and skip conditions, local you want your back door to be just a couple of inches higher than your front hott antenna.dont worry so much about gain coming out looking at a field strength meter , that is just a reference somewhat . try that and then keep us posted . we will get ya talking strong breaka breaka .
