I've got a Force-12 C3, and a 2 el. shorty 40 waiting in the wings.

Other things waiting in the wings are 130' of R25, and a Hygain Hytower that will have all the stubs removed, be extended and dedicated to 80.

I'd def consider a 2m beam.
Then a 20/40 beam.
Then wires for 160/80.
That's just me though. I guess I'd consider 6m if I had capabilities.

No 6m capability here, and with the packet cluster now on the webz, no need for 2m. Unless I was to become a storm whacker of course.

Thanks, I gave the mfr's plans to the contractor doing it. Nothing special in the concrete - just 2k mix.

6 bag #1 stone 3000 Pound footing mix. No water reducer or air. Cheeper that way.. Stonger too. About three hours after pour keep the surface wet. That way it cures evenly.
