[TowerTalk] Temporary tower/antenna question

[Alan Swinger]

For Steve (K7LXC) - Well since you are researching the issue, what did you find out, and then what are your questions? I think your blanket question means you have not done any research and you are wasting the time of we who are on this reflector.
Do some homework first pls - ant handbook, internet sites, etc - then ask a question with your parameters and limitations . . . most will be happy to help if better understand your situation.
