       I am curious to hear from anyone who has a Rohn 24/45 base insulated 1/4wl 160m vertical on the air. How does it compare to previous antennas you had for 160m? The last 60 of the 120 ft will be going up on mine this weekend and I'd like to know if there is anything in the way of tuning, radials, etc. that I should know about that will save me some time this weekend. I'm hoping to have the thing on the air by sometime Sunday or even Saturday night! I'll be able to compare it to my shunt fed 70 ft tower so I have lots of fun in store for the next couple of weeks. If you hear me on topband this weekend gimme a shout and we'll make some antenna comparisons between the two. 73, Ken, N4UK Gray Court, S.C.
