>For ETO/ALPHA's club station in Canon City, CO, in '87 we put up 
>120' of T-20 and a big HyGain LP. But nobody had time to operate.

>In 1989 I reactivated my personal station W4ETO at 10,650'  - on the 
>Continental Divide above Breckenridge, CO. Got the call W0ID in 1996..

>Despite being "2 miles high" in a dense lodgepole forest, that QTH 
>was in a "no antennas" neighborhood. Luckily the adjacent old gold 
>mining claim wan't subject to covenants and I was able to secure on 
>it a perpetual easement for an 80-90' tower. The trees screened the 
>tower from view except from miles away...I never had an tower or TVI 
>complaint in 17 years of DXing & contesting, but was limited to 90' height.

>We moved to the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains of VA in '07. 
>Bought several beautiful acres of rolling pasteur & forest 
>(elevation 0.2 miles!) Now, finally, W4ETO is ready to get back on 
>the air w/beams a little higher ~{;-)

>Sure would appreciate a note to w4eto at verizon.net if anybody knows 
>where I can find another section or two of T-20 in excellent or very 
>good shape.

>Thanks, guys.
