[CQ-Contest] [TowerTalk] DX Engineering 4 square active antenna receive system

[Richard (Rick) Karlquist (N6RK)]

I found that a four element vertical array had essentially
identical performance to my 560 ft beverage on 80 and 160.

I have two of the DX Engineering ARAH-1 active receive antennas
for sale.  They can be used vertically or horizontally.  Email
me if interested.
