Yes I think antennas and their deployment...Hi Norm,<br />Yes I think antennas and their deployment are the greatest challenge for us in the hobby. I sure put a lot of consideration into my setup. Always thinking and rethinking and changing my mind. <br /><br />I also think about the notion that we have to have the "latest and greatest" in our endeavors whatever they may be. My system is the proof that you can have a boat load of fun with just some wires. And I have also learned that these wires can be very effective.<br /><br />You said it in your last sentence. I feel very fortunate to even have a tower, rusty and short as it is. I'm gonna put some paint on that thing this weekend and then I think I'll be done for a while and maybe get on with some operating. <br /><br />OK! that's good news to hear that the wheels are turning.recumbent conspiracy theoristhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06534820082655384780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265043310556240776.post-54583859900632027312010-08-04T10:42:14.322-07:002010-08-04T10:42:14.322-07:00Antennas have been on my mind out here in Arizona ...Antennas have been on my mind out here in Arizona and after reading your post, I really think I need to sit down quietly and start looking at my property and maybe a few bands...20, 40 meters and maybe one more and finally figure out how I can mount wire antennas. I have "unofficially" determined that I JUST have enough room without being near the power lines or phone lines that screw up the back yard for antennas of any kind, while steering clear of the Pine tree out front. I'm sure I can do it. I'm sure there are other hams out there with worse situations.NormfromAZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10327709947936703620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265043310556240776.post-29919966026930662242010-08-02T12:27:44.046-07:002010-08-02T12:27:44.046-07:00Wow, I like that QSL cards and bio's are searc...Wow, I like that QSL cards and bio's are searchable at QRZ; neat! Also neat to read about yourself and your equipment. I had wondered if you had some sort of military background. The Stratofortress is a nicely shaped plane; I remember building a large plastic model of one (among many other planes) as a kid. Your desk looks almost iconic with your equipment, map and QSL's. The only thing missing is a pack of Lucky Strikes! (J/K) <br /><br />Time to update your bio to include your new 20m EF antenna!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265043310556240776.post-85266534215466368002010-08-02T10:27:24.598-07:002010-08-02T10:27:24.598-07:00Oh yea, Tell the XYL (wife) that ham radio will ke...Oh yea, Tell the XYL (wife) that ham radio will keep you at home and keep you out of trouble!recumbent conspiracy theoristhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06534820082655384780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265043310556240776.post-24152568474269368632010-08-02T10:13:19.263-07:002010-08-02T10:13:19.263-07:00Thanks Mike.
