[TowerTalk] Laws of Physics Repealed!

[Roger (K8RI) on TT]

They had good performers, but the several around here, including mine 
were miserable.
Checked and rechecked parts and dimensions by several hams. All were 
correct.

My AV640 worked great, the R6 on the same pole never did.

I've since added a crank over 24' mast with a winch on the NW guy anchor 
for the 45G. That makes it relatively easy to tweak settings, or change 
antennas.  It puts the verticals away from the "other stuff".
