Hi all,
I'm only kidding, but shal we all go to Mikes qth for one heck of an antenna putting up party? hi hi!
I do have to say, 1700 feet, wow!
My dad use to live on Dan's mountain, Maryland.
Back in 1984, I took my Yaesu ft207R, that good ole 207R, and a rubber ducky!
From his house, 3500 feet up, I worked 60 miles away, no amp!
So Mike, enjoy that height!!!
Trippy, ac8s

  Thanks for the information.  I can't wait to get on the air.  Right 
  know we have a house in town, but I have some property on a mountain 
  a couple of miles out of town which I am getting a doublewide put up 
  there.  I go from about 900 feet above sea level to 1700.   I wanted 
  to get antennas up here, but it doesn't make much sense to put them 
  up here, and in a couple of months take them down.   Got to have patience.
  My callsign is:  kd2cdu.
  Thanks again, and I am learning alot from this list.
