Re: [IRCA] antennas on unowned land

["Bob Young" <youngbob53@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Neil,

One runs approx E-W and the other approx NE-SW, the E-W is about 50' up and 
the other is maybe 20' up. This fall after the leaves are down I want to 
re-run the NE-SW antenna higher and straighter and lengthen it also. They 
are as straight as I could get them in the jungle, the E-W is straighter and 
higher than the other one. I am at the SW and E end of them. Would I benefit 
from terminating these, if so does it have to be at the far end? You 
terminate the end you want to hear from, correct? Incidently I paid about 
75.00 a few months ago for the last roll, last year I paid about 50.00 for 
the same thing.
