This antenna is rated for 16 KW on 160 meters. I was told, Larry is going to test it later, to make sure it will take full power!

Thanks to Mike, N1WLC, for all his help,and cheering me on, as I swat every bug that landed on me. Larry kept us full of cold water, and luckily the brook was dry enough so I only dragged 10 lbs of dirt into Larry's house when testing the swr.(but no water) N1wlc, "Mike" was not going to leave unitl the swr was tested with Larry's Yeasu 950 to make sure Larry would be all set........ W2FID donated special fishing line to help with the project, but Mike's Bazooka gun didn't need anything at all,(but thanks Marshall) it easily shot over all the tops of all the trees.......Looking for that yellow tennis ball was difficult sometimes, that gun would shoot it so far...... A good day for all, nice motorcycle ride, Mike GPS made finding Larry's house easy, perfect weather for antenna installations.........Great time meeting Larry, his son, and to sit in WB1CIM Shack......Thanks Larry it was an Honor.
