Now have both 2m and 6m radios locked to 10-MHz freq std
and more equipment connected with 12v power.
Repaired N-connector on 1/2-inch hardline going from shack to tower at 
the house (eventually for 222-MHz feedline)
Did some wiring at equipment boxes located a tower base to add 
432/900/1296 capabilities (soon as man-lift available).
Dry Wx for outdoor work now rare!!
