[TowerTalk] log modeling and reality

[Steve, W3AHL]

I helped a local ham build a T-8 last fall and it still has a 1.5" square 
aluminum tubing split boom transmission line.  I've heard that some of the 
early Tennadynes used round tubing split booms, but that shouldn't affect 
efficiency either way.
