The stacked halos should be up by the end of this coming week, so I wasn't going to get fancy because I knew this was just an interim step. There actually is 1 wire tie at the bottom, just to keep the coax from swaying too badly in the wind. After the stacked halos, I want to add a smaller (possibly 7 element) beam. After that, Bob suggested another moderate step to a 1,000' tower with a 10 terrawatt amp.<BR>----- Original Message -----<BR>From: "Rich" <t41@optonline.net><BR>To: "144.450 Mailing List" <450@lists.vhfwiki.com><BR>Sent: Saturday, February 28, 2009 12:39:25 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern<BR>Subject: Re: [450] A Humble Beginning<BR><BR>
