Ah, but I can dream. I do have 3 YC156's and 3 4CX3000's out in the 
shop. I also have some GU81's IF I remembered the ID correctly.  They 
look impressive and work quite well on 160, 75, and 40, but get pretty 
anemic by the time you get to six.

Unfortunately my max on six is 200W to a Hy-Gain AV-640 that refuses to 
load on six.

As I said, I sure do miss that 7L C3i at 115 feet.  It's ready to go 
back up, the rotator is repaired and I have a good 2" DOM mast ready to 
install although it's been around zero the last couple of nights.  Bit 
brisk for antenna work and it's going to be at least another month or so 
before they *might* let me climb again.
One of the locals used to have a quadature array of those up around 150 
feet or so.  Man that must have looked impressive. 4 thirty foot long 
antennas in an array! The closest I ever came to that was 4 UHF TV 
antennas. <:-))  I think he had worked almost all grids during the last 
sunspot cycle high...or the one before that.

I get the stitches out next Tuesday and have my 6 week check up the 
middle of next month.  They won't even let me drive until then.
Of course right now I wouldn't want the shoulder belt across that 
incision which is a line of staples. No lifting left arm above my 
shoulder until then, either.
