[MRCA] AS-2259 fascination

[KA1LHZ]

I made an NVIS antenna for the CVARC Field Day. I worked Florida with it
on 40 meters. I used the fiberglass mast sections to 40' and hung a 40
and 75 meter dipole from the top. It worked pretty well for field day
but I haven't tried it from home. We've resorted to using a 40 meter
cubical quad which has less noise than a vertical or dipole.
