Steve and Dennis
I am trying to ID the W4 station that uses Mastrant to Guy an 80 ft R55. Still
digging - met him last year during the Hamvention.
Meanwhile I know several in EU that are using Mastrant for guying including a
few OH stations.
In some non amateur applications, had told you this past weekend at the Dayton
Hamvention about the weather stations being guyed by Mastrant on Mt. Everest.
Will advise shortly on the aforementioned.
Regards,
Mark, K1RX
