I have a 402CD ready to go once I get another tower up. We'll see how that works :-) 73, Mike W4EF............. ## At the VE7ZZZ MM station, back in the 80's, they had a 402CD up 65'. I got to use it one night..summertime, while passing through their neck of the woods. That was the most fun I have had to date. They were on 19 acres, on a hill, overlooking a lake. They had to generate their own AC power. Nearest, and only neighbour was 3/4 mile away. You can hear a pin drop. ## I had this huge JA pileup going instantly which lasted a couple of hrs, till a VK called me. I rotated from 300degs..down to 257 degs, and he just about fell on the floor. Aprx 1300w pep out on SSB at the time. ## previous to that, they had tried wire ants up 90' in the pine trees...... and also phased verticals, you name it, they had tried it. The 2 el, shorty 40 cleaned house. ## Lemme know how it works out for you. _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
