Hi all;
The VOA site at Mason Ohio, used at my first exposure to it, a large
multi-element low band quad. Later, they used the curtain antenna, also
supported by the same wood poles. There were other antennas also used at
that time. Rhombics, to my knowledge were not there at the time I took the
tour. A K8 friend of mine, told me the site is not there anymore.
I wish I could have an antenna farm like that,
Bill KC4UZ
