Hi Jay

We need a 160M interceptor now!

Hello Steveo:

OH Man, that would be 324 Feet tall, and 130 foot ground plane radials.
WOW this is a little out of my league by several neighbor hoods and
trailer parks, blocks.

But I am building a 20 meter Interceptor 10K, 5/8 wavelength ground
plane antenna. I am needing a few parts and pieces that I need to order.
Its way cheaper than driving into the Los Angles area, then having to
stop by HRO and drop way too much money. Oh lets not for get the
Bodaious Mexican Restaurant, with the High performance Marguerite's that
makes you put **** back you didn''t steal!

The nut job (really a great guy!) down the road wants a 40 meter 5/8
wavelength elevated ground plane. At 80 feet high will need to use a 50
foot push up on a insulated tower. And use wire as the ground plane
radials. Problem is he has the Doh Ray Me to do it.

Might just be easier to have a remote tuner on the 20 meter vertical and
try that first.
