Hi Guys...
I will try phoning you later-(I'm in the middle of TV tower work before
rain..) but hope you got my message... I guess there were some plan changes
or did I misunderstand Tuesday ? ...original plan was Dad goes to Lewiston
Wed (solo) and I come down Thursday morning for a few hours .I had planned
to get back for early afternoon..
I didn't get ur phone message until after I had left home at 8:45. I had to
stop in Newmarket when I realized I had left some crap in my car trunk and
had to unload it into Jens car at her work, so I'd have room to bring more
up form your garage today ... then, I realized you may have left a massage
on my magic jack...Unfortunately, MJ it is not like Bell call answer with a
notification beep or light... so I never think to check for unexpected
messages.. I too use to Jenny's Bell notification and her call
displaysorry. I was coming from Jennys and quickly sotpped at my place
to call you to see what else you neededbut you had already left..
I left a message with John White asking if he or Matt could lend a tonight
when you get back ...but haven't heard back...if he or John can't drop by,
let me know ASAP...maybe I will just drive down after diner time tonight and
do it, then come back
I was on a stand-by for a new dentist for this aft...but no luck...(soonest
sked is next week- when I won't be here...so going to try again
tomorrow..maybe different Dr...
Since you left Lewiston for today, I assume the Insurance adjuster re-sked?
I wanted to get extra stuff out of garage so he didn't think it was part of
the claim but you were going to go through it first ...you may want to
keep some of the stuff yourself after a Bleach wash and wire brushing wheel
on the grinder to clean up handtools... I can get Matt to through Fridge in
car to leave at Johns until I can get down.. but really not much there that
you cant say is waiting to go out with you got crap or just cover ...
I drove back home after I got your mesage needing coax. I had F56 but only
short lengths of Coax.. .I did have a working cut-out tool, but no
bit..( probably some in the boxes in your garage_If Matt comes over,
.Matt should have a cut-out from work...if not, he can use a utility
knife -or drywall saw if not going right into full drywall?..
Have to run and will call you later to see if John W or Matt phoned
you...( no calls received here)
And if it's urgent to get the TV done (and items out of garage), I will
drive down tonight after rush-hour and just get back later tonight... just
want to make sure you aren't too tired after Lewiston..

An interesting thread on an interesting ham! I recall seeing a picture in
one of the magazines of Don at age 80+ at the top of one of his rhombic
poles (some 100 ft each I believe) doing routine maintenance.
I was browsing through older QSTs recently and ran across an article by
him
in November, 1937 titled Making the Most of Directive Antennas-Practical
Pointers on Operating a Number of Antennas in Limited Space. This was,
of
course, before he purchased the Press Wireless property in the hills and
it
describes his Sterba Curtain and phased element wire beams. Apparently,
he
placed so much faith in his antenna static discharge system that he did
not
shut down during thunder storms!
