Hi Mark!

I had a brand new one of these in 1979. Its factory dimension performance was 
horrible. I was attending college at the time and thanks to hundreds of key 
punch cards I was able to model on
the mainframe computers (optimizers were only a dream in the public sector) a 
56 ft boom design which worked much better with 5 elements. As Jim, SM2EKM (He 
visited me about the time I
extended the boom in 1980) pointed out, 5 elements on 40 ft boom is one element 
to many for that boom length.

73!
