Wow, what a great net, Lloyd and all.

This week-end, I missed both the 40-meter and 20-meter nets because of my 
ongoing antenna project.  The project consists of putting up an 80-meter 
sloper and a 160-meter sloper in place of my now-defunct Carolina Windom 160 
Compact.

The antennas are up, but need tweaking.  The nice thing is that the guy who 
makes them lives about an hour away, and I think he may come over here to 
help with the tweaking.

So, stand by for more details as the situation unfolds here.

One of these week-ends, I'll actually be able to participate in both nets 
again, which I'm looking very much forward to.
