If you look at this one really, really close you can almost see Union

Or Not.
BTW: Cold front arrived in Broken Arrow @ 3:30 Sunday afternoon and so
far it's dry. In other news, I threw a wire outside this weekend just
for RX that was calculated to be a full wave on 20 Meters. 66' overall
length fed 16.5' from one end through a 1:1 balun. Should have a
cloverleaf pattern. The general coverage RX is better than expected and
I'm hearing WWV on all five freq's today. We know that's not going to
last, but it is kinda' nice even if it is a tease. Tunes up buck nekkid
on 20 and with a little help from the internal antenna tuner it loads on
40, 15, 12 and 10. Made a few Q's into Colorado and California with five
watts on 10 & 20 so I guess that means it works.
Will try it tomorrow into states that begin with the letter "D". ;)
