Topband: Top Band Receiving Antennas

[Robert McGwier]

Joel and I have the contruction article from QEX online.

http://www.w5zn.org/160%20Meters.html

<http://www.w5zn.org/160%20Meters.html>for our version of the W8JI 8 circle.
 There are modifications we are undertaking now and we'll post a note here
when these revisions are included.  These include what to us is an improved
feed, making it easier to match, greater impedance stability, and other
benefits due to operating at a higher impedance.
