Subject: [IRCA] serious antenna farm

Gangue,

This is a little off the BCB DX topic. At the end of October I operated the
first half of a Ham Radio contest from a friends house. He has a farm here
in central Iowa and lots of room for antennas. I drool everytime I go
there.

He has 18 towers. 2 x 80M 4 squares, and a 160M 4 square. Four Stacked
mono-band yagis on rotatable towers for each band. Plus some fixed stacks. 
In the works is a second rotatable tower with stacked 4 x 40M yagis, that
will be phased with the first rotatable tower with stacked 4 x 40M yagis. 
Plus 2 beverages in the summer, increased to 4 in the winter, when the crops
have been harvested out of the way. A finished basement Ham Shack with a
kitchen, living room, bedroom, and bathroom for guest ops during contest
weekends.

When he has the other two beverages back up I am going to try some BCB DXing
from there. I'll let you know how that works out.

I will send photos to anyone interested. Let me know how fast your Internet
connection is, so I don't choke it.

Steve
