Hi Wayne,
I served From 1976-1986, I was an Aviation Mechanic Structures (metal
smith), I was a QAR (Quality Assurance Representative), I chacked all
maintenance actions dealing with safety of flight. I went in for a routine
eye examination and a year later found myself on my way home with a seven
year old and a pregnant wife.
As for the ham stuff, I am getting back into the hobby after several years
of inactivity, and really can't speak to towers and beams. As for rigs and
accessories, I friend of mine in my local ham club helped me get a newer hf
rig for a pretty good price, but I discovered that it doesn't have a speech
board, and that most of the hf rigs made by yeasu are not designed to
provide speech readouts. I am however goinjg to try using the rig with my
CCTV. I'm hoping that my magnification needs aren't to high, thus making the
rig unuseable.

Hello Hohn, how long did you serve and what did you do? I served 5 years and
was discharged honorably medically when I went for my re-enlistment. Do you
know anyone selling their rig and accessories? Also, what is the shortest
tower can be used with a yagi three element totateale beam. Whag do you
think of the yagi? 73 Wayne (Nj) kd2jpq
