Re: [IRCA] Grayland, not Rockworks

Gary - 
My antenna was an 18' x 18' corner fed loop. Tom had a "right angle triangle". It's not a delta as there was no apex, and not a flag as there were 3 sides not 4. The vertical part of the right angle was a homebrew mast. The horizontal part of the right angle met the hypotenuse at a low tree branch maybe 20 feet away.
Chuckback home after a 6.5 hour trip, 2.5 hours of which was sitting on I-5 waiting for a wreck to be inspected, detected, photographed, etc.

> My best guess is that Tom was using a miniature delta flag, while Chuck had a slightly larger flag antenna than he used last July (maybe 20' x 20' ?). I've posted a picture of the antenna setups at Rockwork 4 this morning, showing the perspective from the "live DXer" side of the turnoff. As you can see, Tom seems to be giving his balancing skills the ultimate test.    https://app.box.com/s/aem0p4wlb238g014blztk74dyy9trqch
