HF Band Antenna are as follows.
None up at this time after the tower went BOOM in a recent storm.

VHF/UHF Band Antenna were as follows until Sept 9, 2004.

Cushcraft DX-420 Array ( 4 X 20 ele) for 80 elements on 432 SSB. Mounted on Tower #2
Cushcraft DX-220 Array ( 4 X 20 ele) for 220 mhz , Unused at this time.
Stacked KLM 18LBX (modified 16s) 33 foot booms. Spaced 15 feet. Top at 70 feet.
M2 5 ele 6 meter Yagi on tower #2 at 40 feet below the DX-420 array.

The small antenna between the KLM's is a V/H old KLM sat antenna I use for local 432 contact. Only the horz plane is used. Feed lines are 7/8" Hard line down the tower, then 1/2" hard line to the shack.

Sept 9, 2004

To get ready for the Sept 2004 ARRL VHF/UHF Contest. I did some antenna moving and added a few new antennas to the setup. The last couple of years I've always operated single op, single band and stayed on 2 meters and 150 watts. This contest, I figured it was time to branch out and try a few new bands. So I figured if I was going to do it, I'd do it all out. Well as much as I could at the time. The KLMs were destined for the EME array so the stack came off the 50 foot tower. and the new antennas went on the hazer and up the tower.
