Comments:

Still rebuilding the antennas after the big fire in 2000.   The 80 ft vert we 
used consisted of 4 tower sections, a 10' piece of aluminum tubing, the boom 
off of an old Mosley, and half the reflector off an old 20 meter beam.  All 
pounded together with a sledgehammer, and secured with pop rivets.  The gang 
said it was cold forged.  A few more whacks and it would turn into a Samarai 
Sword.   I put it up with a tractor, and held it up with nylon rope.  UUUUgly.  
The radials consist of 96 quarterwaves on 80.  The L network sits in a plastic 
pickup tool box at the base.  It seemed to work OK.  Murphy didn't show up 
until Sunday sunrise, when the Titan tossed a relay.   No Europe,  No VK/ZL, 
one JA.  Weird year.  Oh Well,  CU in the CQWW160.    Jay W7CW in WY
