[TowerTalk] WTB: GAP VOYAGER and a ????

[K4SAV]

A Zero Five should work OK on 40, 30, and 20, and better if you have a 
remote tuner located at the base of the antenna.  With a remote tuner 
operation on 80 may also be acceptable.  Feedline loss without the 
remote tuner can be large.  Above 20 meters the take-off angle goes way 
up and the gain at useful low angles drops by a lot.  Here is some info 
on feedline and ground losses.

Here's the plan...43' Zero Five for DX (with 60 120' radials OH YEAH) , possibly an inverted "L" for 160 DX/Ragchew...and maybe a few inverted V/bazookas 75m/40m for stateside 300-1000miles out. I think that sounds like a plan for now.
