"Massie Station [PJ, http://newsm.org/buildings/massie/] antenna. A
winter storm blew down the mast on Massie Station. Volunteers replaced
the mast, then, led by Colin and Craig, added a new antenna. The new
antenna is an off-center fed dipole, 134 feet long, that will tune 6,
10, 12, 17, 20, 40 and 80 meter bands with a reasonable standing wave
ratio. It is fed with a 4:1 Guanella Current balun which gives us a
feed point of approximately 125 ohms. We have checked  it on 80, 40 &
20 meters and worked several stations with good reports."

Has anyone in the club worked it? If not, change gears for a road trip
to East Greenwich, RI, for the awesome annual Yankee Steam-up
Saturday, 29 September: https://newsm.org/steam-up/.
