I have been looking at the cover of the September 1997 CQ now for a 
month.  I am very impressed with the amount of work WX7M has put in to 
this 280' long yagi for 20M.  I would love to hear it first hand some 
time.  

I cant help but wonder why he chose a REALLY long boom design rather than 
doing something with multiple yagis stacked or side by side yagis?  Is 
this 280' long antenna going to be the strongest thing to Europe from his QTH?  

If you were WX7M and wanted THE LOUDEST signal in one direction, what 
would you put up?  What would beat this 280' long yagi?
