My freestanding tower blew over in freak wind storm about 8 PM local time on Feb 25, 2013.

Western leg of tower fractured just above base plate.

Tower stopped at roof of breezeway between house andf garage at a 45 degree angle.

Antennas salvaged, tower not useable.

Currently using W7DXX via Internet Remote in Las Cruces, NM DM62 until tower is replaced.

I spent 4 days in early May, 2013 witn Darrell N6DX doing tower and antenna improvements (with host/owner Keith W7DXX supervising).

The station is located on a plateau at about 4200 ft altitude, near the airport, about 10 miles west of town.

It has a K3, KPA500 Amp, Tennadyne T-11 Log Periodic at 62 ft. for 6-20M, Force 12 2 El. 304/40M yagi at 67 ft, slopers for 80/160.

There are many remote stations available for listening and some to transmit from. Download the client application at
