[OKDXA] Un-Dangit!

[D C _Mac_ Macdonald]

As I recall, these loops are for 160 and 80 meters, so April might be a good target date to take them down and refurbish when nighttime DX propagation on those bands mostly shuts down.


73 de Mac, K2GKK/5
(Since 30 Nov '53)
Oklahoma City, OK
USAF Retired 61-81
FAA Retired 94-10
