Hi, Nora,

I've been using a Ventenna for 2 meters and 440 meters for 7 years.  I 
received permission to put it on the roof of the apartment building and I 
live on the top floor.  It's very inconspicuous but I do hear interference 
from electronics in the area.  I keep the squelch closed more than normal 
but not all the way closed.  A friend who is a silent key put the antenna up 
for me and I can't remember what he said about the grounding.  The antenna 
gets out well, but I miss the 4-element quad I had when I was in my house, 
(grin).)

Best 33 to you and the other ladies on the list, (I'm a yl, too), and 88 to 
the men.
