[TowerTalk] Fan Dipole

[Wes Stewart]

It may be terrible, but it's better than no antenna at all.

I have 72 DXCC entities worked using an inverted-V, 45' high at the center with 
ends barely off the ground.  Some of these with a barefoot K3, the rest with a 
KPA500.  All either CW or SSB, no imaginary modes where QSOs are completed by 
text messaging.

And this wasn't from a beach in New England but from the desert of southern Arizona.
