Subject: so close

I'm so close to back on HF. the pipe to mount the antenna on is in the =
ground, we just didn't want to get too in to the assembly of the antenna =
right now because we're literally on "any second now" baby watch and it =
would not be good if we got part way in to it and I had to leave but we =
got 900 MHz up so I can run the base station now and got the pipe in the =
ground for the HF vertical. Once the baby's here I'll finish that up, = and
be on HF again. It's just too much work to get part way done and me = leave
my crew so we opted to just wait. I've sure missed being on the = air, the
antennas on the railing worked well when the bands were open = but left a
lot to be desired if the bands weren't great. I'm having fun = again finally
after being stuck pretty much on vhf since the end of = August.
