well, i am not at my daughters house in Aberdeen WA yet, but they have a basement room right next to a tall tree, so i can get somewhat of a vertical with two crinkled radials out the basement window and not bother the rest of the Christmas festivities
i have a powerful 6AG7/2x 807 rig with a 36 pound power supply but i am remiss of disturbing any working radio set up in the ham shack. the 6AU6/5763 was sitting on a shelf along with the NC125, fair game not disturbing (make that destroying, dropping, or breaking) any operational rig. i have 1804, 1808, 1822, 1825, and 1828 rocks along with several politically incorrect (1978, 1987, 1993) i probably won't be using. i don't expect VE3CX or N8OO will be answering my CQs like in the ARRL 160, but i will be down there pounding away anyway mike w7dra/7 ____________________________________________________________ Ally Bank, Member FDIC Consistently competitive rates, 24/7 customer care, Member FDIC http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/567d8e2950d8be297475st02vuc _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
