[Towertalk] 160 metre antenna

[Eddy Avila]

Scott, make friends (quickly!) with a commercial radio broadcast engineer 
that takes care of AM sites that use day and night patterns towers....we did 
and during the contest this coming weekend we'll be using a 450' AM vertical 
tower with 220 ground-radial system....kicks butt on 160!

73...hope to hear ya during the contest.
