[HCARC] Field Day Antennas

[Harvey N. Vordenbaum]

That would give us three lines counting the spare with the HF switch box
one.

Harvey et all:

My recolection is that RG-8X is much more lossey than RG-8. For Field day,
you won't need the 2 meter and 70 cm antennas, so why not disconnect them
and use the cable for something - that is if they can be gotten to easily.

Could you, temporarily run coaxs through the window or the back door?

Just a few thoughts.
