[Fourlanders] TS-990 being built

[Jim Worsham]

I have known Sherman since our Georgia Tech days.  I know exactly what he was saying and I shall have my revenge!  You have a good point Ron.  That rig with my dipole antenna out back would be kind of an odd combination.  : )

However, as I reach for higher DXCC positioning I can see the need to purchase more property, changing QTH, developing acres of land into antenna fields, multiple towers, tons of new aluminum, obtain some REAL QRO power, etc.

Kim and I saw an early prototype at the Kenwood hospitality suite in Dayton a couple of years ago.  Unfortunately, way out of my budget.
