Mike and Lou:
When I get my Windom and DXCC up the way they should be, I'd really
love to
work you guys from here in Michigan.
Am waiting for the arrival of a Channelmaster telescopic mast, plus
some
rope I ordered from The Wireman.
If I can get that stuff sometime this coming week, hopefully, I'll be
able
to get my help over here again over the next week-end or two and
finally
bring this project to its completion.
Will want to be testing out those new antennas for sure.
