I ALWAYS THOUGHT N5 RED PECKER WAS ACCEPTABLE DURING THE TEXAS 
QSO PARTY A FEW YEARS BACK,
ESPECIALLY WHEN I WAS IN HARDIN COUNTY.

Mosley's traps are actually two traps in one housing.  The outer part of the 
trap is the 15 meter element tip.

According to the Force12 catalog, the C-4XL is a C3 forward staggered with a 
2 element 40 meter (linear loaded 37' elements) beam.  It uses 2 feedlines, one
for 20/17/15/12/10 and one for 40.

Subject: Info wanted on tilting up complete towers
Message-ID: <199508020350.VAA28774@lynx.csn.net>

I have heard a few stories about east coast stations tilting up complete
Rohn 25/45/55 towers including rotator and antennas.  But I don't recall
who/where was doing this.  I am working on my book and would like to include
some info on this topic.  Any leads as to whom to contact would be appreciated.

Subject: contest amp. schematic

Hello all,
I would very much appreciate a xerox copy of the schematic
for a Dentron ML2500-B.  That's the -B model!
I already have one for the -nothin' model, on an old
papyrus.  If anyone could supply such a thing, I'd
appreciate it.  I'm doing a CONTEST conversion from
8875's.  Those guys are too pricey.
Many thanks,
