my lone radial is just temporary.... i hop eto have
maybe 25-50 by theend of the summer... and for 40 & 80
Inv V's... all my ants are comprimises at this point,
heck, i cant even turn my beam... and somehow or
another i managed to get it fixed South West... lots
of DX activity that way... i am not up at the time to
work VK/ZL otherwise its perfect... most of my
operating takes place towards EU...
