    Mike and all:

Well, as fate or luck would have it, my ham help turned out not to be 
available today, plus we ended up having company that just left, so the 
Cobra install was a nogo for today.

Tomorrow will be a wash-out here, as we will have a soaking rain all day. 
But, the good side of it is that it will melt most of our snow cover, which 
may pave the way for another opportunity to do the antenna work next 
week-end if the help is available and the weather cooperates.

As for the help, I would give the install a try myself, except there are a 
number of antennas and other wires I need to work around, which may require 
some visual assistance, but I'm sure I'll get there one way or another.

Anyway, will keep everyone posted for sure.
