[TowerTalk] Remote Ham Radio (and hard work)

[Richard Solomon]

An 89' tower only 14' from the property line !!

He must have very accomodating neighbors.

I had a W-51 with a PRO-57A and 402BA, along with
a modified Hy-Tower for 80. Did pretty well with that
setup. All on a 100' X 100' lot.

73, Dick, W1KSZ
