Hey Gang,

Got a package from the Wireman today. Bought a few things including parts
for the home antenna that blew down about a week ago in a wind storm. It's
basically the same antenna now except that I replaced the antenna wire with
#14 copper clad steel (wireman #502). This stuff has a 450 Lb breaking
point, so I'm pretty sure it's not coming down ;-) Thanks to everyone who
sent me comments regarding the antenna wire. I also used a Ladder Lock
center insulator. Very nice! I updated the shack/antenna page too...
