[Collins] Collins ham gear redesign

[Carl]

A pair of 4X1's isnt even entry level into the QRO club these days.

BTW, is there any market for a large prop pitch these days?

Sure remember him, he was very loud on 20m. Last time I worked him
was back in 1986.
I never knew hes ran a pair of 4-1000A´s, myself I also ran a pair
of 4-1000A´s.

Interesting to read all the stories.
