I have a long-standing and very good friend who lives about 10 miles from
here on top of a 650 feet hill - almost the highest point in this area.
He has a 150 foot tower which supports his 3 element 40M monobander.he shunt
feeds the tower as a vertical on 160M tuned against his extensive ground
mat.
On 40M he has now worked over 320 entities both on SSB and CW.
His two other tower are 120 feet with arrays for the remaining bands, but
40M is his speciality band.

I once worked a guy in southern Brazil on 20M where he was using a 10
element monobander, and said that he had a 3 element rotary monobander on
80M!

I know that Bill, N4AR, down in Lexington has a box 4 of 6 elements on 20M
but that is fixed on Europe.

Wow!  A full-sized 40-meter beam -- now there's something to dream about.
