Tony,
I used my retired TH-3 MK III for the same purpose, FD.  It will last a
lifetime at 24 hours a year!

Here are the dimensions:

Boom 14 ft...they are the same.

There are 3 pieces of tubing between the boom and first trap.  Dim A is the
msmt closest to the boom and is measured from the edge of the boom...not the
center...to the first joint.  Going toward the tip, Dim B is next and is
measured, joint to joint.  Dim C is next and is measured from the joint to
the edge of the first black plastic cover.  Dim D is the distance between
the traps measured from plastic cover to plastic cover.  Dim E is the outer
tip measured from tip to joint.

Reflector:

CW - A=48"  B=45-1/2"  C=4-1/2"  D=6"  E=26"
Ph - A=48"  B=43"      C=1"      D=6"  E=25-1/2"

Driven Element:

CW - A=48-1/4" B=35-1/2"  C=4"  D=6-3/4"  E=25-1/2"
Ph - A=48-1/4  B=33"      C=1"  D=6-1/2"  E=25-1/4"

Director:

CW - A=48"  B=31"  C=1"  D=7"  E=25"
Ph - A=48"  B=28"  C=1"  D=7"  E=25"

I hope this helps.

Subject: CQ 160 Claimed scores sent for posting
Message-ID: <199606292346.TAA14955 at borg.mindspring.com>

The top 80 claimed scores for both CW and SSB sections were sent to CQ
Contest (K3SA), NCJ, and Contesting  On Line (KM9P).  They should be on
these Web pages in a few days.

1995 Certificates for USA/Canada are all done and I am about 50% complete on
Dx.  I am going to do all the Dx and then bundle into a UPS box and send to
CQ for stamping as the wife has cut me off from using any more of "our"
funds.   I did get a six back with forwarding expired and found that 3 had
not notified FCC so I don't know your new address and neither does
FCC...better tell uncle charlie or they tend to revoke your license for 6
months!

The paid for Plaques are going to the plaque maker on Tuesday and Randy
K4ODL will be in charge of getting them on the way to deserving contesters
in about 7 to 10 days.  We still have 7 unpaid plaques, but all but one has
agreed to pay for them so those should follow shortly.  I have two special
plaques or replacements and I will be in touch later in July to get them
lined up (John are you listening????).

As soon as these plaques have gone out, Nancy NK4U will be sending all 1996
sponsors a bill ($40) so we can get back on track.   I will put out a call
for a "few" volunteers to fill several holes.

73 es cu on 160...
