Brandon,

Thanks for the notice.  Peninsula stations should be able to work you on 
2m if you have a small yagi or power up to 50w with mobile whip. 
locations and views all matter, of course.

Wx cold and breezy, today, but will try hanging my 80m FD (without 
adding 40m wires) and using ladder-line feed (33-feet) to 4:1 balun (do 
not have spacers made to run two parallel RG8 as 300-ohm feed).

Also re-route coax from tri-band beam to connect to cables going to new 
shack (where K3 +100w amp are now located).

This week MAY be last chance to get things done before snow and colder 
temps!  I may take down my old hamshack in order to move two 6-foot 
folding tables to new shack before the weekend??

Probably not get computers moved & wired, so only SSB/FM.

Main hamshack move and installing 16-foot dish intended in next two weeks!


73, Ed - KL7UW
Nice to have lunch with you and your wife yesterday!
