Lance , thanks for the qso today. In looking into my file I guess I did not 
send the request for the info update  on the 6M2WLC antenna. It is a boom 
length of 39.5 ft and carries 9 elements. I would like to see some 
comparisons with other "biggies" before I assemble and install at the new 
qth in CM95 Nipomo,ca.  I am unable open the .ant file with this original 
email. What do I need for this?  Mike Goshay w6we
