Re: [IRCA] 750 wobbler



Yep...it's surprising what even a mini-BOG can do. This is the antenna you 
should use for your Alaska 750 attempts and especially now while cx are very 
good ! If this antenna gives a near complete kill of WSB, all the better and 
by 6 or 6:30 AM the LA's should's be mostly faded.  73 KAZ
