[TowerTalk] Building a Contesting/DXing station with deedrestrictions

[Al Williams]

My how times have changed.  A wire antenna farm in a deed restricted half 
acre of land would have been classified as a mediocre contest station at 
best--even with 90' tree supports.  What class are the 100/200' multi-tower 
multi-yagi contest stations--super, duper, etc. universe class?

But having a "mediocre contest station" doesn't preclude enjoying 
contesting!
