[600MRG] On the air

I was disappointed in my IC7100.
I now have an IC751A running. Being a 1.8-30 MHz rig the PA is a whole 
lot lot better on 472kHz.

I measured off 510 feet of #10, attached an insulator 190ft from one 
end, and pulled it up with the short section vertical. I now have an 
Inverted L with ~190 ft vertical and ~310ft horizontal between two 
towers, using an existing large radial field. It measures 41 j0 at 
472kHz and models about 25-30% efficiency.

I hope the attached file helps someone else. It took me several hours to 
figure out the IC751A! I almost gave up on it.

73 Tom
