Zack, Drew has a long history of innovative ways to use equipment for unusual QSOs. No doubt that is one of the reasons he is so good at keeping AO-51 ticking away.

I wonder if anyone else could mount their receive and transmit setups 547.17 miles apart? Or to put it in terms that you are more likely to deal with when assembling your station, 34,668,746.87 inches apart. 73!
