Spring / Summer backyard tower project

[VA3KOT John]

Welcome to ham radio Rob. I see you are planning to start off with a very big station. I don't have a tower myself; I prefer stealth antennas and that limits me to simple wires in the trees. I've done quite well with my simple antennas. I even QSOd (CW) with France on a short vertical and 25 watts in my backyard this week. Of course, the station in France had a 70 ft tower and a beam! Anyway, good luck with your project. If I can help without getting into trouble with the social distancing laws let me know.
