[SCCC] ARRL 160 N6LL Single Op LP

[Glenn Rattmann]

Thanks... but clearly causal creation credit goes actually to 
N5KO.  When Trey bought his house in Aptos years ago, he was excited 
to get something on the air from home, as many folks were reporting 
that 160 meters had been in great shape lately.
So, he bought bits of PVC, some wire and hardware (maybe even some 
RG6 coax?) at Home Depot and built a quarter-wave wire vertical for 
160, with 4 elevated radials, and pulled the mess up into a tree.
Hence, the Home Depot Special was born.

According to Trey, dipole versions are allowed, and do not violate 
the copyright.
