Ah, that's the one I originally wanted to get, but our property here 
just isn't big enough to accommodate it.

As it is, with the Compact 160, I have to borrow a neighbor's tree for one

I envy those who have the property to string out nice long wire antennas!

Will look for you on the nets in the coming weeks.

No, it is a full length windom,  265 feet long.
Fed with a 4 to 1 ballon.
