Topband: Waller Flag Antenna

[wa4fki]

Hello Top Banders,

I was surprised to see the recent article about the Waller Flag Antenna. Carlos' stations worked in the summer is quite impressive. Heck I thought the band was closed, maybe for some but guess not for Carlos. Maybe it's being close to the ocean and the salt water..

What is the secret that Carlos has that he can hear this DX on Top Band and the others have reported working these stations. Pretty impressive for Summer condition on 160 meters..

After reading Carlos' article and then going to his web site an interesting thought came to mind. How do you rotate a Beverage antenna? Guess you drink the beverage and rotate the BIG Waller Flag towards Africa.... hi hi
