My homebrew HyTower works on 20, 40, and 75 with no extra stingers. That's
cuz I made the length of the Rohn 25 exactly what is needed to resonate on
the phone section of 40. It also works great on 17 if you have a tuner in
the line. The one on page 34 of the Dec. QST rag would work great and make
it truly multiband from 80 thru 6 (I'm guessing on 6. WHo works that band
anyway? WAST?(worked all state troopers)). If you're interested in how I
made mine for under $300, contact me.
