I have sufficient AWG 10 for two hexagonal counterpoises measuring 
160' across end-to-end.  I can easily fit one that's 80' across in a 
nearby open space.  I may be able to go as large as 120' across up there.

Please let me know the copying cost and I'll reimburse you for that 
along with the postage plus a little more for your trouble.  Priority 
Mail using the U.S.P.S. Flat-Rate envelope is a pretty good deal.
