Default Radials -- the same length or not???

Hi Walt,

Thanks for your kind comments. You can change your color to tan, come on
down and catch some sun tan while inspecting the rhombics.
Looks like God is good to me, after all the forced absence from radio and
search for new QTH and place for Tesla, we were rewarded. So far lot of
cleanup and fixing, but the potential and fertile salty grounds for the
antennas are just dream come through.
Recently we had bunch of high tides and flooding, as can be seen from the
pictures, but usually over the winter the tides subside and it is easier to
walk around and do some antenna fixing.
It will be interesting to compare some classics vs. rhombics and how the
modeling reflects the reality.
We are looking for hands and/or brains to join our club, no dues, just sweat
or brain equity to get it rolling.

What? Haven't got a buck?
Check out www.TeslaRadio.org
we got some 200 acres of salty marshy QTH with two story building and 40
rhombics for a $1. We are looking for extra hands and brains to help with
restoration and operating.
I just put some more pictures and partial drawing of antenna farm (under
location -maps - site survey).

Hello Yuri,

Just checked out the Tesla site--veerrry impressive! And congratulations
on
founding the Tesla Radio Foundation--Bravo! Tesla was indeed a great
contributor
to our art and science, and I agree that he has not had the recognition he
deserved. You are performing a splendid service.

And what a great site for a ham station--the old WOO station! Hope you can
put
those rhombics back in operation. I've just committed one of the seven
deadly
sins--I'm green with envy!
