HI Tom, That character Murphy there must be two of them, I am sure one
lives in my Shack. I am in the process of planning my upgrade to the Antenna

at your place. HI Hi.

I just don't want to create even more trouble, since Murphy's law seems to

Try it as is while it is that way, you never know, it may work well enough
