community so all my HF work was on a 80 inverted V at 35ft in the oak trees,
well I moved back in March to a new qth out in the country, and now have 4
acres to play with, so I can start to build a more serious contest station, I have
several antennas planned, my every day use antenna goes up this weekend on a
55ft aluminum crack up, a Mosley TA-63M, then hopefully by the end of January I
will have my other towers up, two rohn 45’s at 150ft with the following
antenna’s 2 5el20’s, and a 6el10 on one tower</span></font><font size=2

thinking on that one..</span></font><font size=2 color=black face=Tahoma><span
