[TowerTalk] Question on 80M 4-square amongst trees

Hi Geoff,

Unfortunately I never operated a station with an antenna like that nor have
I ever operated at a station with a real 80M beam.

I have operated at two stations with 2 L wire beams on 80, one of
which was instant switching with reversible directions and later with
multiple phase angle switching added.  That was real interesting!

The wire cage concept sounds interesting, but that will never be
a possibility at my qth.
