Sweepstakes time!
Will be M/S from the KU club station, look out for a monster signal! (we hope)

The beast. TH7 around 100'

Our view from the upper roof to the Southeast (we're hoping to be able to run Texas and 4-land the entire contest)

We had one of those at the old W8RCC club in the 80s and 90s. Ours was 140' up, and we used the top of the tower as supports for slopers covering 40-160M. A big steel building behind them served as a reflector of sorts.

Put out a monster signal, even with the amp "off".

Good luck in the 'test!
