I miss my cobra ultralite but it wouldn't even close to fit on the lot I
have now, the g5rv needed fancy footwork to make it fit. With the growing
family I may have something else in the works soon for a place but it won't
fit there either, there's more land than here but no trees. I have something
for an antenna in the works in a couple months though so that will work out.
I'll be back on the air before long, if this other house works out I wont'
have time for radio soon anyway for a couple more months because this place
needs a lot of work which I'll be doing a lot of myself but it will be worth
it in the end because we'll have more room and I'll be back on the air with
no moves planned again for a while.
