Topband: 160M Rhombics

[ZR]

That excuse doesnt cut it Mike and from what I was told by those who were 
there his power would be considered pretty normal these days. You can only 
get so much out of a pair of 450TL's, 4-1000A's, etc.

Some on here that you seem to look up to run more than that.

OTOH you completely discounted Dons LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION.
