[600MRG] Free standing verticals

[Dave Riley]

Hello Ben,

Can you give us more info concerning your real estate plot such as 
square footage, relationship to power lines, existing antennas, size and 
height of your home, any neighbors who would allow you to span their 
property, or any obstructions that would be in the way of an antenna and 
lastly what you have for antennas for ham use at this time?

Are you presently using any sort of loop or probe antenna for receive?

All the answers to your quest so far sound workable so maybe a mix or 
some kind of a modification could allow you to enjoy the new band.

Thanks from DaveR @ aa1a
