Steve:
Thanks for the very kind offer and good info. ... I'm going to have to be
working in the office for the next few weeks yet, pulling loose ends
together and cleaning out files, etc., but noone will come get me if I
decide to take a day or two off. ... It's one of the perks with this job,
and my payback for what are many 6 and 7-day weeks during the regular school
year.
Actually, come to think of it, if I get this screw-driver antenna installed
on the trailer, and can tune it properly, this may be a good way to test
things out with folks who know what I'm up against.
So, stay tuned, you may be hearing from me.
73 and tnx again from Tom Behler: KB8TYJ
