Hello everyone,
    My name is Mike, W4MJA, and I am from Marietta GA. I am finding that these 
days I am really enjoying the competitive side of the hobby more and more, and 
would like to increase my contest scores, DX's worked. My challenge is to build 
a world class contesting station, on my half an acre piece of land, in a deed 
restricted community. 
   
    I do have 90'+ trees in and around in my yard, and have quite a few pulleys 
at 90'. I am looking for the best wire antenna designs and what will give me a 
comparatively strong signal to guys who run beams, yagi's and such. 

    I have looked into a K9AY loop for the low bands as far a RX goes on 160 
and 80. I have also thought about a Lazy H for 20M and or 40M. What would you 
guys recommend?

Have a blessed day, 
Michael Almeter
W4MJA
