Hy-Gain Thunderbird TH3-Sr at 120 feet.
40 and 80m dipoles strung among the guy wires at 90 feet.
40 and 80 m slopers off the tower from 100 feet.
License good for one year,
renewable. Cost for a Category 4 license, at 100 watts for one
year was $40 ETH, or about $28 US.
The Category 4 license included stations established for tests,
research, experiments and stations established by radio amateurs.
Maximum amateur power level is
100 watts.
An interesting set of regulations, that are quite acceptable.
There certainly appears to have been some American influence in
the generation of this pamphlet.
