Hi;
While I'm thinking about spring, someone mentioned that they paid someone to 
put up their 2 meter antenna.  I'm wondering if anyone has found any good 
ideas for getting competent antenna help?  I'm not really active in my 
"local" club and there isn't lots of uhf/vhf activity although it could just 
be my timing.
A few years ago when I put up my last r8 I sent e-mails to area clubs asking 
for help.  That turned out to be not such a good idea.  I got an eager 
volunteer but eventually discovered that he was a newer ham and nobody else 
in the club wanted to help him with this little project.
Unfortunately I said "yes" to the first offer and later discovered that 
another club was considering making me a club project.  Not sure if I want 
to be a club project.  Somehow this shouldn't be quite so complicated.  Once 
upon a time we had a local radio store and for a not to unreasonable fee the 
owner would put up most anything.  Unfortunately those days are long gone.
Not complaining just looking for constructive suggestions.
Richard
