     (160) 26m T-Vertical
      (80) Elevated 1/4 Vertical @6m, DP @17m
      (40) Rotary DP @21m
(20/15/10) KT34A @18m, R5 Vertical @10m

A big "thank you" goes to:
DK1MM (Sixpak & Stackmatches)
DK9IP (R5 + lots of coax)
N3RD (A/B switches)

Considering the fact that the largest antenna at the home station is a
small tribander @18m, I'm pretty happy with the score. My highband signal
only allowed for about 2-3 hours of running time to NA on 10/15m each day - 
not enough for the good condx! One of the best moments was to find out that
it is possible to get up a 26m vertical as a single person! Unfortunately,
a bad cold kept me from doing more antenna work and operating the way I had
wished.
