Rick Karlquist, N6RK is a long time amateur radio operator who likes contests, DX, and over the years acquired a large square of property in California’s Central Valley to have enough room to build his antenna farm.  In this episode we discuss building 90 foot vertical antennas with irrigation pipe, and using the falling derrick method to raise  tall masts and towers.  Rick has acquired a wide range of experience from his amateur radio and professional life, some of which he shares in this QSO Today.
