Comments:

All S&P, and a low-key effort at that. Mostly I was trying to see how many
sections I could work as a test of my improved compact 160 antenna. I actually
did OK with that, and even worked about 15 DX entities, so the antenna does
work, proving that even on a small lot, it is possible to put up an antenna that
radiates a signal on 160. Receiving a signal, however, is a whole different
matter, HI! 73.
