[TowerTalk] New 80 meter Beam design....

[Rich Hallman N7TR]

   Just wanted to get the word out about a new 80 meter beam design by W7CY and NI6W.

  Many may not know the callsign of W7CY, but Rod has been better known as NZ7E.  Of coarse Kurt, NI6W, is the developer of YagiStress 2.0.  W7CY has moved to a new hilltop location and is again, with NI6W, designing 80 meter antennas.  Rod at his old house,  just few miles away from his new place, had a 4-square up for 80.  This antenna was just unbelievable!!  Ive used the 4-square several times at Rod's during contests and it was just killer. Early reports from Rod and Kurt at the Visalia Dx Conv say that this antenna is also working VERY well compared to the old 4-square.

  The electrical design for the new beam is by W7CY (AO) and the mechanical design by NI6W/7 (YagiStress 2.0).
