Topband: PHASING SHUNT FED TOWERS

[Nagi]

Hi Mike, Tom, Tree, Jon Herb, Carl, Dan and Friends,

I still feel Earl, K6SE lives in the minds of us all.
I also wish he'd lived when I have some questions about antennas.
I introduce my web page again which I made when he passed away.
You can see his PHASING SHUNT FED TOWERS and so on.
