Hi Jim, tnx for the story.  Always love to hear about Ozona Bob.
Yep, if you go long, you need a signal to support it.

It was true, in that after 10-20 minutes, the adjacent stations would come closer and essentially occupy the frequency. Then Bob would come on with the Tek-Rad, and the Turnstile antenna up 300' on one side and about 150' on the other side. Boy, Bob would kick the hornets nest! Sometimes I'd be tuned to the SSB stations waiting for their reply when Bob came back on. I specifically recall one station saying he threw his headset across the room when Bob's carrier came on.
