[TowerTalk] High VSWR

[Jim Brown]

Thanks for the link, Wes. Yes, the process was interesting to follow. 
Don't feel like the Lone Ranger though, Doug -- over not very many 
years, K5RC has had a lot of trouble keeping his 3-el 80M yagi at 175 ft 
operational at W7RN.

And here's another thing on which Wes and I agree. I know a lot of hams 
who have had a lot of fun with far less mechanically heroic antenna farms.
