Re: [IRCA] TA Aug 29 Alberta

Yes,  I do still have the beverages out at my other site, though as a 
result of a wicked summer storm several are in need of repair.   When 
everything is in order, and the site is accessible,  I do have a 1000' 
beverage at about 35 degrees , which is my main TA antenna.    Here at 
home I normally use the K9AY, which bagged me nearly all my Euro DX last 
year.  It's out of operation too, for a few more days, so I've had to 
use my 300' wire which is pretty much omnidirectional.

73,
