I won't be at the Hamvention, but if I hear you I'll most certainly give you a call. Being old and decrepit, I don't change much aerialwise from one decade to another if I can help it. What's in the sky or under the ground stays there. We don't have animals here that eat antennas. Enjoy the summer - I will! d.v. I'll be putting up a new pole (no masts allowed, the house is 15th Century with listing restrictions) with more chance of working something outside Europe on top band (like in the good old days!) 73 Keith G3OIT _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw?
