Jim, John, Simon and all... There aren't any stupid questions, but lots of stupid actions. (Doh! What was I thinkin'!)
Jim, along your lines, I learned very early in my ham career, Never, EVER, try to disconnect an antenna during a storm's approach. Was knocked clear across my shack by a nearby discharge. Talk about knocking the sense into you! Second, measure, measure and measure again. Make sure all the parts fit in the sequence you think they will fit. I can vouch for the shear joy of trying to get a part on a 5 element antenna that you had to pull out of the rotor and attempt to balance in mid-air while you slide on a part you thought would fit after it was mounted. ;o) (It's even more fun if you're hanging out in the middle of the ozone layer.) Happy New Year to one and all! Hope to catch you all OTA this year. 73, Julius n2wn _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
