[ILQSO] antennas

[Hank Greeb]

Oh - if one is looking for a REAL antenna setup, there was a very nice 
portable antenna at the Mackinac Bridge 50th anniversary celebration 
this year.   The crew borrowed a 70' crank up tower on a trailer, topped 
with a STEPP-IR tri band beam for 20 thru 10 metres, and had dipoles for 
80 and 40 strung from the 60' level of the tower.  Now THAT is a nice 
portable antenna!
