[TowerTalk] Mystery Vertical: a Mosley RV-x Model?

Sat Jan 2 10:34:19 PST 2010

Larry,
I think it is an RV-4 with the 75/80 kit added.  
There are only two traps in this antenna and it seems that all the newer
models have three.  I'll be sweeping this antenna in an hour or so and will
report back to the list before dinner!
:-)
Again many thanks & 73,

Hi Gordon and all,

Just looked in a 1995 Mosley catalog and this looks like RV-8C which 
included 75/80. I will try later to scan the image and send to you.  I may 
also still have the assembly manual from mine. I am in the middle of 
painting a bedroom and need to get back to that project.
