Hi butch,

My wife, Kathy, says Libbie is describing the game Tetris.  does that ring a
bell with her.

On antennas, if you don't mind spending some money, you might look hard at
the B&W BWD1.8-30.  I use one of these with the apex at about 50 feet and
the ends at about 20 feet and work the world on all bands with 160 being the
least favorable.  On the other bands it is dynamite.  Costs about $219 but
is only about 90 feet long and would easily fit in the lot you describe.
Feeds with coax and needs little tuning at all.

Take care and 73.
