N4RJ & I are trying to improve our 80M and 160M signals.
I've been talking to a couple of you about a 4 square. Val has a 170' tower
that currently holds up an inverted V. Ya, it works pretty good... But we
ain't running Europe with it. Would the 4-square work any better for
transmit, or would it be about the same as the inverted vee, but hear better?
(We have great beverages... not too worried about hearing better). What
other antenna could we put up making use of the 170' tower that would be
worth the investment in time and $$$?
Regarding the 4 square... If we did it, we would use 4 vertical wires
suspended by nylon ropes off the tower. Would 4 radials be enough for an
elevated system?
Thanks alot!

A lot of people emailed me about the keyboard mapper. Apparently I wasnt
the only one who ignored the first messages on this subject a week or two
ago.
There are two programs which were recommended to me. Both are available
for FTP from oakland.oak.edu in the /pub/msdos/keyboard directory.
The first program is DKEY.ZIP. It works perfectly for me, and in addition
to remapping keys can also create macro sequences.
The second program is RBKEYSWP.ZIP. Since DKEY worked great for me, I
didnt even bother to look at this program. This program supposedly swaps
the ESCape and tilde keys. The program comes with assembly source code,
and if you want it to swap any other keys, you need to modify the source
code, reassemble and link.
Obviously, if DKEY works on your machine, it is the better solution.
