[Elecraft] 80m ECN?

[Kevin Rock]

Now guys!  A loop antenna is in the works.  I hope to get the ladder line 
built today.  The main problem is getting the ladder line through the 
wall.  My other antennas use coax which routes through the foundation, 
into the crawl space, and then up through the floor.  The openings are too 
small for the ladder line.  I may just have to drill a couple of holes 
through the wall and build the ladder line on both sides of the barrier.  
Routing it through the window is simply not an option.  Once that antenna 
gets in place I can experiment on 80 with my friends in OK and NM to see 
how it propagates.  Then I can try ECN/80.  But first I need to get an 
installer built, a white paper written, and a bunch of advertising copy 
created so I can market a few software tools.  Priorities?   Hmmmm...  I 
think CW is way up there but $$ for food on the table seems to come before 
CW.  Pat hasn't shot me yet but she has her alibi all worked out just in 
case she needs one ;)
    73,
