Re: [IRCA] Good night last night, and going for 400 stations

[Dennis Gibson <wb6tnb@xxxxxxxxx>]

Scott Fybush looked for the long wire when he was there in 2011 but couldn't find it. It must have been well hidden. In my travels with him we've only been stumped once. That was the first time we met back in 2004. The 850 towers in Thousand Oaks were on the ground, which made them harder to find. He had a flight to catch so we had to stop looking.
