>> Neil, Stan is a good friend of mine who, until August 3, 2015, lives in
>> Hawaii. He always dreamed of having a spectacular station, and since he
>> sold his business and retired, was in a position to realize his dream.
>> Toward that end, he purchased a farm in north west Florida, about 30
>> miles
>> north of Pensacola. About a year and a half ago, Stan and I began
>> designing
>> and equipping his dream station. We worked literally every day on the
>> project, and by July of this year, we had purchased all of the hardware.
>> When I use the term "we", I mean that Stan had purchased everything that
>> was
>> necessary to put up the station that he and I designed. With all of the
>> hardware purchased and staged at his farm, Stan and his wife moved from
>> Hawaii to the Florida farm. Construction has already begun, and by
>> November
>> of this year we expect to have the first 5 towers up and running.
>> Eventually the plan calls for a total of 12 towers, including 3 200 foot
>> rotating towers, plus 4 squares and various receive arrays for 80 meters
>> and
>> 160 meters. The station will have multiple stacks on every band 160 thru
>> 6
>> meters. It will be one of the largest stations in the U.S. I won't
>> state
>> the precise cost of the station, but the hardware alone has cost several
>> hundred grand.
