[SCCC] ARRLDX CW N6WS SO Unlimited HP

[Dick Stepanian]

Yep Tim - I remember a few "long" telecons" while you were driving home or
to work...hihi.   Good feedback Bill is getting on the 160 antennas.  I
connected with Kurt a while back and am going to try his suggestion before
going to the Big Vertical.  I have all the parts for inserting a coil into
my 160 sloper but haven't gotten around to putting the tinker toys/legos
together yet!!!

73's,
Dick - W6TK
