In 1979 id truck by this place and he was busy putting up towers and antennas.today i was coming home from springfield,mo . Had time so i took a couple shots of his setup
this aint that go0d quality darn apple se
yes cant see in picture but several in trees n wires with insulators,ladder lines galore.but as i said in 79 i was haulin fuel up that road to springfield,mo 6 to 7 loads a day.he came a long way to have so many antennas10-11 antennas. That guy is serious. I want an antenna farm myself one day, with really tall towers.
couple dipoles left side imposdible to see,couple more 9n trees at left of house,you prolly have worked him before. He is east of mt vernon,mo 6 milesLooks like 2 element 40-meter beam w/UHF stuff on the tower by House.
Then maybe a HyGain TH7DXX 20/15/10 meter beam(4 elements each band)(might have 2 "L" 40m kit also) and 7 Element wide space above that for 6 meters...by looking at pics...
Yep, nice set-up...bet I have worked him, most likely on several bands.
i bet you been past his place by 3/4 mile n never knew it.he is off I 44 on mo 174 east of mt vernon ,moThat ain’t ol, “got my red panties on”, I hope.
Such a sight is seriously impressive.
The planning alone, if nothing else.
You sorta wanta knock on the front door just to shake his hand. Hurry back to the truck and lay that hand on the transceiver. Slowly power it up.
Wait as it settles before kicking the air start on the 12V-71
