[Elecraft] Improving the station while waiting for the K3

[Dick Roth KA1OZ]

Actually, I'm just getting back on track with my hobby after 30 years or 
so away from HF (haven't even been on 2m for many months!).  I've never 
had a shack in this house, so I'm starting from scratch.  Besides my K3 
order, I've been sending coupons to HRO for stuff including an Astron 
SS-30M supply.  I'm contemplating getting a GAP Challenger vertical and 
am still trying to figure out whether I'm planting it on the ground or 
flying it on the roof.  The new safety rules require substantial steps 
be taken to protect neighbors and their errant pets, so I'm looking for 
the best compromise amongst performance, safety, cost and effort.

The last time I had a shack, it was in a walk-in closet, with a dipole 
strung between our livingroom and bedroom.  This time, I've got to 
figure the best way to get cables into the house.

I'm talking back to basics here!!

Well, I've consumed more than my share of bandwidth.  Everyone have a 
terrific day.

Calmly awaiting my K3 to bring me back on the air after 30 years.
