i new it was going to be this summer...though allot of the older hams around
here swore up and down it would never happen...i guess they will be eating

I have the equipment, i just have to rearrange the antenna and make sure
things are resonating properly and then i can start experimenting on HF.
For now planning on running a 20 meter inverted V with the apex about 16
feet up.
