[FieldDay] Re: Field Day Antennas

I use an assortment of antennas.  G5RV for 80 and 40.  An Alpha Delta Tripod 
with Hustler whips on a "tee" for 20, 15 and 10.  The G5RVs is hoisted by a 
couple of telescoping poles about 30 to 50 feet in length with proper guys to 
keep it in place.  G5RV should be up higher to get good performance, but I 
pull the feed line out at 90 degrees usually supported by a folding ladder to 
keep it off the ground (this is paramont) so it properly works.  Have done 
well with this combo doing the CW routine for my club -- everyone else are 
mike shouters and no other brass pounders but me.

W4EBA (yes, I got Extra the old fashioned way too).
