[CQ-Contest] Tower guying questions and Antenna software questions

[Zack Widup]

I found the manual with dimensions for the 402BA on-line.  I can make a YO 
file for that antenna based on the manual.

The 402CD was an inductively-loaded "shorty" beam and as such can't be 
simulated with YO as far as I know.  You could do it with MiniNEC or NEC, 
though.
