" Been there, Done that, But not anymore " worked some crazy DX on the 200' tower with full
radial ground system. It was fun while it lasted. I'm now 24/7 with 108 watts nighttime, 
wishing I could be heard 10 miles up the road through all the co-channel rumble, and the 
adjacent channel scratch of the night-time Big Gun Talkers. Still havin fun in radio though
even after 27 years:
