No we did not get the antenna on the roof at the December meeting. Someone forgot to buy the coax. No names but his initials are Darrel Swenson. I still don't have the coax. 
We need about 50 feet of RG-8x. RG8 and the MW cable we have is too big for the holes. RG58 would be too lossy. 
I forgot to order the cable AGAIN so unless someone has 50 feet of RG-8x laying around with the special connectors for RG-8x we are probably out of business for another month. 
SORRY. My fault. 
I can't answer the questions about Darwin. He's on his own. :).
