[TowerTalk] Duo band 20/15 meter beam

[Tom Osborne]

I remember back when I had a Gotham quad.  Piece  of crap antenna, right??
Would never work according to the models, right??   With aluminum spreaders
no way it could work, right??

Had it on a 30 foot push-up mast and had a ball with it.  Worked over 250
countries with that antenna.. Maybe I was having too much fun with it to
know that it didn't work.  :-)  73
