John, who makes it in NH?  name or call would be nice.  I wonder if a visit 
is possible.
Have a great day,

Located in the only town named Royalston in North America and maybe even the 
world.
Royalston is located in Massachusetts,
the home of "The World Champion Red Sox!"

Dipole, it appears to be folded, I haven't opened mien yet but it seems to
be bolded and about 140 feet long with ladderline on it. You would need a
ballum for it, if you get it from the guy who makes it he has a good ballum
and rope he'll add in, but he won't charge shipping on the ballum or rope if
you buy it with the antenna. HRO has the antenna as well.
