[TowerTalk] TH7dx with 40 meters

[Mike Krzystyniak]

W9RX slung a full size 40M dipole under his TH6 boom.
Check April 1974 QST.   Might be able to trapp it for 40m/30m.

Why not gamma-match the boom of the TH-7 as a rotary dipole for 40?

Check the archives, or the NCJ archives for the details.
Works great!
