Just a note to say that I now have a Cushcraft R8 vertical (40-6
meters) in the air, mounted on a 10 foot mast at the back corner of my
deck which is 8 feet AGL. The "monster" is 40 feet tall counting the
mast, guyed about 80% up. We had a raising crew of six people this
morning, and because I did all the assembly and prep work beforehand, up
it went, nice and easy.
Made a couple of PSK31 contacts on 40 and 20 meters and got good reports
(does Mexico count as "real" 40-meter DX if it is a border town?).
C U on the air.....
