Hello Topbanders,
I have three 10-fot sections of triangular steel tower, about 8 inches on a
side.
Is it practical for me to make a useful vertical with these, either bottom fed
or gamma matched?
Thanks for advice or experience.

Yes a modest flock of chickens may be the most practical tick protection.

I have asked a friend in FL to remind me of a company there which has offered a
variety of Teflon wire.

is a GPS monitoring system that issues corrections to GPS users doing
surveying. In that same building is the US standard 1.1 million pound weight.
Ferdinand Hassler was Superintendent of the first thorough survey of the East

in the past have discovered that TVI was caused not by their transmitter
but rather by their own gutters, downspouts or wire yard fences.

0 the first harmonic, and 1860 the second harmonic? It has been some
time since I had that straight in my mind. Maybe the fundamental multiplied by
two is the second harmonic.
In this very much stay-at-home time here, I look forward to some radio
listening.

George,
Your comment about over simplifying reminds me of a very early explanation of
radio communication - or was it telegraph? I can remember only a little:

Very nice to see the pictures of the intercontinental QSL cards. It has been
some 50 years since I had actual QSL cards to send and with renewed on-the-air
activity, I want to get new cards printed.
What are topbanders preferred QSL card sources?

Do not spend money on a remote antenna tuner till you understand transmission
line truth.
Reflections III is not a 20-minute read. You will learn a LOT because there is
a lot to understand.
