[OKDXA] Bands

[Kim Elmore]

Hi Coy,

I assume you shorten it inductively; how'd you decide where to put the 
inductor and what are the approximate dimensions of it and your tower? 
Also, do you have ground radials on the tower, or do you not worry about it 
and just keep the worms warm?

I'm thinking about Top Band, now that the weather is too bad to do much 
antenna work :(
