Hello n4kg,
I kinda figured that <G>. I decided to abandon my thought. I don't
want to put a ring half way up the tower so I'm going to put up a
C31XR and a little 2/2 for the WARC bands on top of it. I'll use a
vertical antenna for my "spotter". I ordered the C31XR
today........will be a while before I see it. Thanks for the input
Tom.
