For those here on TT, some of you might find this entertaining...... Here are a few links to videos that show the moves that Paul Nyland & I made last month at the KH6YY station......enjoy! Don't try
Those videos are a real treat to those of us who have been up the tower. I have a two element, full size 75-80 (tunable) two element Yagi, still in the box. The elements are made of aluminum tower se
