[HCARC] Antenna Question

[Gary and Arlene Johnson]

Thank you all for your responses.  As I always say - you learn someting 
every time you ask a question.  You might guess I have been reading about 
setting up vertical antennas and radial systems since getting the 5-BTV from 
Gale Heise.

Again Thanks to Gale for opening the Club Station for some Mic time for Bob 
Rithie and I yesterday during the WW SSB Contest.  It was both fun and 
instructive.  I also learned that I absolutely need to add a laptop computer 
to the soon to be completed shack.
