    VK6T with CQWWCW wrap up, new X beam for HF bands, HF condx and 160m comments
    Dec 8 2023
    After some tower problems I designed and built a new X Beam with stacked elements 2 over 2 on my second tower. Intended to use this for CQWWCW…however some problems with 80/160 prevented an all band effort this year. So it was just 40m single band for me. See more on instagram @vk6lw
