[TowerTalk] Rehash of 80 CW/SSB Switchable Dipole/Vee

[kc4pe]

Better yet, find an old Hygain, or Collins..or..??? Measuring TAPE 
DIPOLE ...Yes its a measuring tape that will pull out from 10 meters to 
75 meters.....All the bands are marked on the tape...
So you pull up to your camp site / shoot a rope over a tree limb, pull 
the tape to your desired band...screw on the co-ax .... pull it up, tie 
off the ends..and your done and  with a little fine tuning..
And when your done for the weekend, drop the pull line ..with the little 
hand crank on the dipole case ..wind up both sides of the tap and your 
done...
