Re: [IRCA] Some real live amateur radio clubs

["Bob Young" <youngbob53@xxxxxxx>]

Bert, I bought the dipole from Dx Engineering

http://www.dxengineering.com/Parts.asp?ID=883&PLID=160&SecID=78&DeptID=40&PartNo=DXE%2DWA%2D260

I also got the 1:1 balun that goes with it, it was a royal PIA to get it up 
considering my back yard looks like a jungle at this point. I spent a lot of 
money on this stuff, I also bought a Heathkit 2060 tuner which are not cheap 
either and a Marconi dummy load which was a bargain.
I just fired it up and am going to see what's on right now at 11:30 ET,
