[TowerTalk] antenna choices for K4XS

[jcjacobsen at q.com]

How do to all, 


Another "interesting" thread. KK9A made an interesting point: 

"I have stacked homebrew OWA monobanders on most bands, two of them have 60' 
booms. I am not on the ARRL DXCC honor roll or anywhere close. Honor roll 
is not a way to evaluate antenna performance.

I remember reading...YEARS ago (OK, so I'm old also)about someone who was on the Honor Roll using a Collins 75A4, a Johnson Ranger, and a 260 FOOT long wire. I believe his total on 160 was also very high......... OH, and again if I remember correctly, it was all on CW............ The propagation Gods sure level the playing field. 


In closing, use what ya got............. but use it. GET ON THE AIR!!. Quit worrying abut the last .5db of gain.
