Hello to all HAMs
100% OK! The mail below does not need any more coments! I got chance to spoke
to Mr.W1GKK, and what to say....
I DO NOT HAVE "TRIESTE" CONFIRMED, but it is up to me. Not to old and smart
guy as he is?!
And what about it? This is A hobby! And you, AMERICANS, should not take this
more serious than the simple hobby (related to a lot of stupid things done by
ARRL).
With all my respect, kind regards to EVERYBODY on reflector,
Goca,T98G (ex.4N4AE)
Member of YU4EBL (YT4I, 4N4I, ...)
P.S. AND W1GKK IS THE GREAT ONE!!!!!!!!!

Whenever I hear about some enormous array or other equipment setup, I
recall the article in QST some years ago where W1GKK was interviewed
about DXing. W1GKK was and is the only ham to work EVERY country since
WW2. No one will ever equal his accomplishment for the simple reason the
deleted countries he worked are no longer available.
He had only a modest station and worked only 20 meters. When asked the
secret of his success, he replied "Be there when they're there".
Excellent advice even today. Put away the big antennas, guys, and just
get on the air.

No one disputes that modest stations can work DX. Of course they can. Big
stacks on big towers are not necessary for that. But, they do make a
difference in who generally makes it through the pile-up first, and who is
able to hold
a run frequency on 40 or 20. My BIP/BOP/TOP/BOT 4 bay stacks give at least 10
dB advantage in just about every usable angle compared to a single identical
mono-bander at any height up to 200 feet.
Stacks are not for everyone. My BIP/BOP/TOP/BOT 4 bay stacks give at least

Stacks are not for everyone. Not everyone has the available resources and
land to erect a tall tower for the big stacks. But, once you've used them,
it's
hard to go back to a single Yagi.
