[Elecraft] Trans World Antenna

[Phil Townsend]

Thank you all...
Well I guess the laws of physics are still in full force. 
There certainly are times  when I wish the rules could be bent...just a bit.
On the other hand... It's comforting to know that some things simply don't change.

So its the same old story... If yu want a big sig... Area, altitude and horsepower.

Let my ticket expire early in the last cycle... I'll get a new one in the spring. I'm looking for a Sugar Sugar Radio suffix ... 
Indiana, Fla. Vermont, Ca. And KH land.
