"Capt. Renault: 'And what in heaven's name brought you to Casablanca?'
"Rick: 'My health. I came to Casablanca for the waters.'
"Capt. Renault: 'Waters? What waters? We're in the desert.'
"Rick: 'I was misinformed.'"

• G5RV/ZS6BKW Antennas Palomar Engineers
  • "The ZS6BKW antenna is a better match for our bands than the G5RV. The method of construction and tuning is essentially the same for both antennas but the dimensions are different. Here is the ZS6BKW antenna installed at AK6R fine tuned for the CW/FT8 frequencies on 40-20-17-12-10 meters. An excellent antenna when installed at 30 feet or higher and no tuner required avoiding the tuner losses and constant retuning. If you want to work all bands from 80-10 install an antenna tuner between the 1:1 balun and the amplifier and ignore the 39/40 switch."
