[TenTec] Jupiter and 33 foot vertical.

[waltk8cv4612amos at att.net]

Oh, this should be so ONLINE ...............


#1 Can you really work ALL bands with a 33' vertical ?

#2 What will blow up first, the Jupiter or the Balun ?

#3 Is the LDG 1000 PRO made to sit out in the rain ?

#4 Is this cost affective ?

#5 If the SGC 237 has been doing all this why change it ?

Very INTERESTING ................. but !
