[TowerTalk] Building a Contesting/DXing station with deedrestrictions

[Mike Fatchett W0MU]

I would try to put up some wire beams especially toward Europe or bi
directional arrays.  You can probably sneak vertical elements and have some
pretty decent low band antennas especially if you can phase them.

Just so everyone is aware, this would be a single op station. If it were a
multi op station, I would move like as suggested:)
