Is that a live antenna strung up over the pool?  Shocked

It really does look nice Al, I wish I had a large dedicated place for radio.

Yup  It's for real.  Uses the infamous W2AU balun with 40 M traps

Been working for 25 years.  But time for a new one

Regarding the large door -- anyone got a spare Gates or Collins BC xmtr they want to part with?

Here's a shot up the tower

What's funny is how many of us see that big doorway and know right away what it is for.  That was the first thing that went through my mind also, because I have told myself if I ever have a shack built from scratch I'll make sure to have a ground level garage size doorway put in just for that reason.  I guess at one time or another we've all had to deal with getting at least one big rack rig somewhere that wasn't built for it  Grin
