There is a book about W6AM written by Jan ??? a W6 friend. I was able to
read the book, on loan from a friend. I believe that the rhombics used
on the ham bands were built mostly or totally by Don. I remember,
specifically that the power poles were guyed and consisted of 2 poles
spliced together to reach the heights he needed. It is a great book and
I wish I had bought a copy for myself. 73, Dan, N5AR
