[TAC] FP land update and antenna thoughts

[Greg Surma]

I'm still fantacizing about the "loin" part....

Correct on the BC special....in the M/M world we would have little time
to share the antenna.  

All food for thought.

We need to hold a Telethon to raise funds to have Jeff go with us.

At the risk (or opportunity :-)) of insulting your memory... Don't 
forget that the BC Special has a substantial 40 meter capability.  No 
directivity, but if weight becomes the overriding concern, and you're 
taking it anyway,  it would provide a vertically polarized full sized 
quarter wave on 40.  Then you always have wire for the horizontal.

Just jerk input.

73, Jeff
