[Lowfer] XFX update

[Eric KD5UWL]

The new flattop is in the air.  Working on the mount for the elevated
loading coil now.

This thing is microscopic - about 30' tall with 27' between the
end-poles.  Actual length of flattop (distance between spreaders) is about
19'3" and the width is 3'.

I can't do anything about the distance between the end-poles on this
property, but I *do* wish I could figure out how to make it taller.

The 3-element flattop and vertical element are #12 stranded, THHN.  The
3' spreaders are 1" square aluminum tubing.  The harness, guys, and
halyard are of parachute cord (the black 7-core mil-spec variety).

I will _try_ to post pictures in the morning .. not certain.

The loading coil will be mounted about 8' above the ground -- I'm working
on that mount now.

Should have a signal on the air tomorrow night.
