Logic says that since we are supposedly not at the peak of the cycle, things 
should continue to improve.  Anyone that has been around for more than one

on ten and fifteen in the past three weeks with a ground mounted vertical. 
I don't believe this will last.

I wouldn't count on conditions holding, I hope to be back on the air if only
mobile by then, seems like things picked up when I called off my help
putting antennas up due to a possible to highly probable move.
