[MRCA] MTA Pix from W3GRD

[B. Smith]

I had  a few pleasant days in the back yard antenna range field 
"testing" the unmodified
AS-2259 and developing a ground mount - - -  the standard antenna kit 
does not have a mount.
  Gene Smar, AD3F did some Smith Chart Calculations and that started me 
down the path. So I blame it all on him.
