Topband: Unsubscribing

[William Cromwell]

Hi,

I already commented but I will add that my present site is a 100 foot by 
100 foot lot. I have a compromise inverted L and one radial. The L and 
the radial (counterpoise) of necessity turn some corners, higher here, 
and lower there. I don't have a world beater station on 160 meters but I 
do occasionally get on there and give it try. Sometimes there are 
surprises but we will not get any of those if we don't turn the radio on:)

73,

Bill KU8H
