Subject: antenna is finally up

Well, the Hustler 5BTV is finally up.  Not quite the radial field I = wanted
yet but I'll keep adding to it but right now there's 8 to 10 = radials I
laid yesterday, today I adjusted where we had problems the = other day.
Still don't have the 17 meter add on kit back on, I think I = know what the
problem I was having with it was though which means I'll = have to retune
again once I get that taken care of but at least for now = it's working
reasonably well. I graduate from college tomorrow and am = going to my
in-laws after, if I'm home in time I'll catch you all on 40 = meters, if
not, Sunday it's a little tight and I have a bit of a noise = level on 20
meters but I'll try it there when the blind hams meet. I = might even have a
chance to move the TS-2000 to where the HF station = will be and not run the
backup radio, that TS-2000 will be great to have = on HF again. I hoped to
do it tonight but we got busy, then things ran = late, and I'm out of here
around 5:30 AM so I'm headed to bed soon. = Hopefully I'll swap radios
tomorrow night, the TS-2000 is just sitting = right now, it was on VHF but
with a little one, I thought it might be = nicer for my radio in the living
room, next to the 900 MHz one, just for =
2 meters which I'm only on in emergencies and rarely other times anyway, =
to be one he can't mess up when he's old enough to push buttons so, I = put
an old Motorola SM120 there and the TS-2000 will be for HF only out = in the
sun room. I don't think I'll hook the other bands up on it, not = any time
soon anyway.
