[TowerTalk] Rhombic vs. Yagi

[Joe Reisert]

Tom,

I don't want to start a war but FWIW, my good friend VE2LI ex. G2LI (who 
passed away in 1999) told me shortly before his untimely death that W6AM 
was by no means the strongest W6 into the UK. In fact he said Don was 
second layer to some of the other DX station in Southern California, 
especially on the lower bands when he was G2LI and one of the first UK 
stations to work W6s on 80 meters in the late 1940's.

73,

Joe, W1JR
