Good Evening Gentlemen,

Per the above message sent to me from Marco (IK0YVV) to-day, I wonder if
anyone reading this, who has had some "...real-world" experience with "T"
antennas on the band, might please get back to him with some tricks of the
trade in this regard...?

I personally came *this* close to erecting a "T" myself this year --- for
the first time --- but my re-loacated "L" has worked out so well for me that
I stopped just short.of the wire-stringing phase. If you wouldn't minding
helping yet another enthusiastic DX station get in on Topband, please feel
free to get back to him directly at ik0yvv at libero.it

Many thanks...!
