Topband: vertical antennas.

[JAMESAMS88@aol.com]

Interesting stories on the trap verticals, vacuum relays etc. in the top of 
your vertical. Sounds like an engineers nightmare congratulations to anyone 
who can make them work and keep them working.  I have a 65 foot TV pushup 
mask setting on top of a telephone insulator. I use a copper tubing base 
loading coil for top band and I remote switch with small vacuum relays from 
160, 80, and 40 meters.  works very well on all 3 bands, but lighting got me 
once and knocked out a couple relays. I dont have room for much in a small 
yard in town. I have lots of radials but they are short. WØNFL
