[MohawkARC] Anyone up for some trailer work this weekend??

[Matt Tatro]

 Is this to cover the 160M antenna deficit?  Pricey for a compromise
antenna (loading coils/short length).  Wire antennas (and antennas in
general) are usually cheaper to build than buy, and you get better
quality.  We can do a full size 160M dipole and an accompanying 300'
beverage for almost $20 cheaper:

320ft beverage wire 16AWG = $28.80
265ft 12AWG dipole wire = $39.60
Comtek (overkill highend) balun = $74.95
Total $143.75
