[TowerTalk] Gem Quad Back in Production

[scottw3tx at verizon.net]

Hi Lee

Back in the 80s my best friend, KB3X (now W3YX) had a Gem Quad. Over  
the years it did very well mechanically. It was a challenge to  
initially tune so a crank-up would be my reccomendation for the tower.

We could run Europe on it in contests at 45 an hour.

Let us know how your project turns out.

73, Scott W3TX.
