My antenna farm on top of the tower is a X-3200A(VHF/UHF), C-3(HF), A50-6S(6M),
XM240(40M), AND A DX-A(160-80). So the gamut is 160,80,40,30,20,17,15,12,10,6,
2,144,220,and 440.

Merry Christmas and a Safe and Healthy 2006 New Year!

Being even older than you<:-)) and still climbing, I find tower maintenance
on the monster I have to be a royal pain. However I like the height for the
VHF and UHF antennnas. Now if I just had something for a big tribander
plus the WARC bands and a full size 40 meter yagi which ain't gonna happen
on this 200 foot on a side lot.
