I have a tower too. Horizontally polarized. I may get around to putting it up some day. Meanwhile, a couple of trees work just fine.
Do I want them? Of course I do!Quote:

I am getting sick of my roof towers. Too hard to work on once put up. But I DO get 35 free Feet with a 2 story house!
Pat, did you ever sell that big tower you posted on Craig's List?
News to me! WHAT big tower? I have never posted on Craigs list. Wonder if someone is SPOOFING me? If I had a big tower, it would be UP with an antenna on it!
Okay, my mistake, sorry. Some time back I saw a listing from someone in Crest selling an 80' tower. I just assumed it was you since Crest isn't that big and you are the only ham I know from there.Quote:

Every time I get hoarse in a contest I appreciate CW more!Quote:

If I had a place to bolt it on, I'd be taking you up on that :(Quote:

Yes, but if I build a fractal antenna & use that term, Chippy will sue me. Who needs the aggravation, anyway?Quote:

I have done everything i could to insult him directly. I never really cared for pompacity.
And yes, he has threatened to sue me too. :lol:
it's not free, there is a nominal cost, but it pretty darn cheap ;)Quote:

It is. The shekels I can come up with, post-Dayton. Transport is going to be the issue. 5 sections of Rohn 25, an A-3, and misc. other items will NOT fit comfortably in the back of a 1999 Olds Alero 4 door.Quote:

But im not...and it isnt, so its more of a post to brag about i truck i dont yet have. Sorry. :(
I hafta pass up all kinds of "COME AND GET IT" deals on Towers and antennas simply because I don't have access to a truck. There seems to be a deal like that every week down here in SoCal. Alotta towers and antennas are getting into the hands of new Hams that want to explore HF. Most are from Silent Key deals where they want to sell the house and the antenna just needs to be GONE!
I just missed out on a deal like that. Now, I am a proud owner of a bigass trailer, so it never happens again.
So........what did you get?Quote:

Unfortunately, for most of that time, there was at least two carriers on top of them, and at least two other guys sending a continual string of dit-dahs zero beat with them. Schmucks.
How sick and twisted some sad little people are.
I was calling them on 12m this morning, couldn't break the EU wall. The crowd was surprisingly well behaved.
K3LID worked them first call on 20 CW 100 w. i shit you not.
as for the tower - it is here when you are ready to come get it. i can always find you a tower for a good deal.

My credit is already solid, but paying off a credit card always looks good when making another big purchase. This could allow me to look at a Lariat if i wanted. Ill cross that bridge when i get to it. :)
Just so everybody knows - 7O6T is already approved for DXCC credit.

Ooooooh....just need to break the wall.
If there is a WARC BAND BEAM at Dayton, I am bringing it HOME! The Wife can take a GREYHOUND home!
