[SEDXC] Of Tripods. Verticals and such.....

[Hal Kennedy]

My first beam - a Hornet TB-500.  Eggbeaters at the element ends.  Very
FB antenna at a reasonable price.  Got mine on the air in 1962.  Easily
worked 100 countries with it ten feet above the roof - mast came through
the roof into the attic and I arm-strong rotated it - the mast came down
right next to the operating table - which was an old door on a pair of
saw horses.   DX-20 driving a pair of 1625s running about 90W output in
pure class C.  The good old days!

Rich,

You bring back a lot of memories for me. I used a Hornet TB-500
tribander on
a roof mount from 1960 to 1964 and easily worked DXCC running 300 to 500
watts of power.

>From 1972 to 1973 and from 1975 to 1978 I worked a lot of DX using a KW
and 
a 4-BTV vertical which I still have.

73,

John, W4NU

Thanks to all who replied to my needing a roof mount tripod...I have
procured a couple. Even found a 4ft Glen Martin roof tower that I am
thinking of seriously of obtaining. 

Now, for the next antenna want/need: I currently have a Cushcraft R5 in
vy
good condx with manual that I was going to erect. However, that antenna
does
not cover 40M and I have decided to off-load it and obtain a Hustler
5BTV or
Butternut HF-5(or 6)V to cover the lower bands. 

Therefore, does anyone have a trapped vertical or a Butternut vertical
that
they want to sell/trade?? 

Also, anyone need a Cushcraft R5 with docs? 

PLEASE contact me off list (k7sz at ARRL dot net) or via L/L:
