Sorry I won't make either net this weekend, due to two rehearsals and two
concerts I'm singing in.

    Kris:

Great news on the steppir, and like many others on this list, I'll be eager 
to hear it when you finally put it on the air!

The key to that antenna is a good radial system, and it sounds like you have

that well under control.

Regarding today's 40-meter round table, I don't think I'll make it, because 
we'll be in the middle of antenna work at that time.  In fact, my trusty 
Alpha Delta DXCC is currently lying across my garage roof.  (grin)

Hopefully, though, if all goes well here, I'll be back up and running, and 
will be able to join everyone on the 20 meter Cross-country net tomorrow 
afternoon.
