Carolyn, how high is your antenna?
And what do you use?
I hope you can hear me alright when I check in to the net.

Hi,
I can see that. He told me that he put up 90 antennas. I wish he could do
one for me. I just got a new antenna a few months ago which is the best we
could do. We live with someone else and are limited in what we can put up.
Take care,
Carolyn Kj4vt
