Good Evening,

    It was cool but not very wet this week.  Good for all the hiking it 
takes to retrieve and rebuild an antenna.  It is a doublet with one leg 
a few inches shorter than the other.  A portable spar pole was not 
lowered as the loggers moved it around the mountain.  It was tall enough 
to sever my 14 ga. THHN 40 feet above the road.  I use green wire and it 
is very hard to see against the fir and hemlock.  Instead of running it 
in a straight line one leg points east and the other leg points north.  
There is a decided difference between my two antennas.  I'll try a few 
A/B checks tomorrow to see which one works best for either band.  The 
two legs are not level but they do parallel the ground.

Please join us on:

14050 kHz at 2200z Sunday (3 PM PDT Sunday)
  7047 kHz at 0000z Monday (5 PM PDT Sunday)

73,
Kevin. KD5ONS
