My how times have changed. A wire antenna farm in a deed restricted half
acre of land would have been classified as a mediocre contest station at
best--even with 90' tree supports. What class are the 100/200' multi-tower
multi-yagi contest stations--super, duper, etc. universe class?
But having a "mediocre contest station" doesn't preclude enjoying
contesting!
