I have a 402CD ready to go once I get another tower up. We'll see how
that works :-)
73, Mike W4EF.............
## At the VE7ZZZ MM station, back in the 80's, they had a 402CD up 65'.
I got to use it one night..summertime, while passing through their neck of
the woods. That was the most fun I have had to date. They were on 19
acres, on a hill, overlooking a lake. They had to generate their own AC
power. Nearest, and only neighbour was 3/4 mile away. You can hear a
pin drop.
## I had this huge JA pileup going instantly which lasted a couple of hrs,
till a VK called me. I rotated from 300degs..down to 257 degs, and he
just about fell on the floor. Aprx 1300w pep out on SSB at the time.
## previous to that, they had tried wire ants up 90' in the pine
trees...... and also phased verticals, you name it, they had tried it. The
2 el, shorty 40 cleaned house.
## Lemme know how it works out for you.
