I am looking for more information on my set up and what I can do to help 
me get a few more contacts.  Right now I am using an antenna from 
KU4AB.com its a loop that works very well.  Last contest I had a 1,202 
mile contact.  That was sweet.  Anyways that is mounted on a tripod that 
only gets it to about 7 ft in the air.  I know I need to get higher. But 
thats a bigger problem then you think.  I have no trees bigger then 10 
ft in my yard, I cant put up a  tower unless I take it down every night 
so I am stuck trying to find a way to do that.  The antenna that I am 
using is working real well, but I would like to get another and stack 
it, or a directional antenna.  But then I have to find a place to mount 
it in the air.  So any ideas would be great.  Here is one request.  I 
have had bad luck in anything I have had to build, and if in anyway 
shape or form there is any soldering that needs to be done I will mess 
it up faster then anyone else you have ever seen. 

Thanks
