Comments:

IC7300/AL1200, 72ft top loaded vertical, self resonant at 2.3Mhz, with
additional base loading for 160m (also can be fed as a 3/8 wave 80m vertical). 
9-circle RX array built with VE6WZ boards.

Primary goal was to play around with the new 160m antenna, and it seems to work
well.  Only about 30 radials so far.  Absorption seemed pretty bad both days.

I have 7 of 9 verticals installed for the RX array.  I assumed the N/S
directions were least important and possibly unnecessary from a DXing
perspective, but I definitely could have used north for the W8s/9s.  Pushed that
up the project priority list.

73, Dave
