Hi all,

Again, many thanks to Lyle, Dexter, and Doug for all the advice.

It appears that the last 3 or 4 dB in efficiency requires at
least 6 dB more effort!  So, I will start with a MINimal antenna
(or is it a MINnesota antenna) and see how well it's received.

If it looks like another few dB is needed, I'll put up another,
about 100 feet away, fed from a separate final.  This will be
a chance to see how much "gain" that approach offers.

73,
