	Was listening around on 10m to see what
conditions might be like this weekend and was
surprised to hear the OH9TEN/B (10W?) beacon on
28267.3 around 1730z.  Tried a few CQ's with no
takers.  Posted myself at 1800z and OH6KN came
back with an S9+ signal!  Joe said he was running
24 elements on 10m and gave me this webpage:

	http://www.radioarkala.com/

	Joe must have the current big 20m array
with 4X 6 elements on a 105m (345') rotatable
tower (far right in above picture).

	For some interesting background and
history (W6KPH and OH8OS), click "Visalia"
in the left menu.  Some very interesting ideas
there including automated voting and null
steering (page 23 of second presentation).
