There is someone, somewhere, who has the authority to
change the mast from aluminum to fiberglass for the
purpose of multiplying your radiation efficiency by
a factor of 7. I would seek that person out and bend
his/her ear.

Believe me, Cecil, that is not the case here. This is a very
small community. The Fire Chief and his Deputy have ultimate authority
over this building. Besides, to attempt to go over his head would
merely jeopardize the good relations we already have which allowed us to
get this far anyway. We'll leave well enough alone and work with what
we have. If it weren't for the fact that we need operation on 3589 &
3980, ~7090 & 7248, and hopefully 60M, we'd probably have just gone with
a trapped wire antenna off this mast instead of using the SGC-237 (
which we already possess).



Thanks.
