[Towertalk] Advice on Re-doing My Antennas

[Masahiro Miura]

Eric,

TET (Taniguchi Engineering) used to make roof towers and
HB9CV and Swiss quad antennas.  I remember that I used their
Swiss quad on 6 meters in 70s.  Their roof towers were quite
popular back then.

Many JA guys use the following product for guying.  I am not
sure if it is available in the States.
