I for one would like to commend entire crew of PT0S, they were not operating
from a plush resort. Instead they put in ridiculous hours on a wet rock in the

yours, Doug’s and Gary’s help I would have given up on 16

feedpoint for the Battle Creek Special wire TX antenna is, 20'X40' then covered
it with burlap to protect to dog. Under the chicken wire are several #10 ground

Just want to say thanks to Dave for all his efforts. Also Thanks to Ed KH2L. I
listened for many months before getting decent opening to Guam on 160. Dave
hung with me during some serious QSB, then of course a week later the band had
a great opening to both Dave and ED. Go figure! Really liked
I just purchased 1600’ of Twinax from a supplier in Lexington,KY. (2 spools
1000’ and 600’) However shipping was going to be as much as what I paid for the
