Congrats, Trippy!

If there's a will, there's usually a way.

And, just so you know: you're not alone.

I'm currently trying to solve an antenna puzzle out at the RV.

Just can't get the screw-driver to tune effectively any more on HF without 
the turbo-tuner I once owned, but I'm sure I'll figure out something either 
with that antenna, or another antenna.

That's the spirit of ham radio.

Never give up, cause any antenna is better than none at all.
