[TVARC] CQ160 CW N4FP Single Op HP

Wayne,

FB on your 160 score.  I miss being a bottom-feeder with my Inverted L
back in NH.  I'm toying with the idea of a push-up 40-foot mast anchored
a couple feet away from my 6BTV "flagpole".  The idea is to run about 40
feet up the mast and across the roof to another support.  I can fashion a
collar between the flagpole and the mast so that I can get away without
guying the mast.  Total length would be about 90 feet.  I could connect
it to my present ground plane with a coil between the feed and antenna to
electrically lengthen it.  (I will try the tuner in my K3 first but I
don't think it will have enough headroom.)  I can collapse the mast at
daybreak to avoid the village vigilantes.  I'm sure I can work all
Caribbean stations, Central America, and northern South America.  With
luck, the European big guns may be able to dig me out.

73 de Ed
