[TenTec] My First Ten-Tec

[Steve Berg]

I mounted the Gotham antenna with conduit clamps and porcelain 
insulators on a 15 foot long redwood 4x4.  I had it for many years, but 
left it when I left a rented house, and I think someone pitched it. 
Now, I have a Hy-Gain trap vertical with about 2000 feet of wire around 
the base, and that works a lot better than the Gotham ever did.
