[K3CAL] 160 dipole help

[lumadue charles]

They do work with a tuner but my gas grill will too. Don't want rain on
anyone. But if you try, it will make waves.
I talked to Yellowknife and other places on the CB before and still do.
 Do what you want.  Check out this site from 160 and see what you think. It
has a lot of good info.
SEE YA KEEP SMILING AB3LE
