[CTSARA] antennas

[Tony]

David, when you are in a position to replace your antenna, I highly recommend the 7-band Buckmaster OCF (or the 8-band version if you have room for it).  It's built like a tank (although radiates much better).  Mine has been up almost continuously since May 2010 and has survived three major storms, including Sandy, and numerous smaller ones.  We use AT's (KK1R) 8-band version for the GOTA station on Field Day.
