I just recently picked up a Universal aluminum tower - actually five
pieces of the same. I will be ordering the tilt-over base and rotator
plate shortly. Next will be the job of digging the hole and filling it
with concrete. When I am done my XYL should be very happy. Currently
my antenna is mounted 3' above the house on the East end and when I am
pointed West - she hears me just fine! TV - Stereo - Telephone.....
Originally she wanted nothing to do with the tower but she is now VERY
supportive of my efforts.
If you REALLY want to try something hard - the same weekend of the FQP
is the NEBRASKA QSO Party. Rules can be found at the Heartland DX
Association's web page (they are the sponsors).
