[80m] 4 square

[Victor Blackwell]

Bill,

Trying to get it all come out even is my life's story. hi hi

I am building a contest station west of Hamilton, Ohio and the antennas are
giving me the biggest fit.  What else is new?

Thanks for your information.  I love the low bands and all the guys/gals who
participate in understanding all the mysteries to be found here.
