[HCARC] Antenna help

[Gary and Arlene Johnson]

OK Joe - Dale G says for you to give us a rundown on what was the ticket to 
getting the Hustler 5-BTV on line and working great.  Things like this are 
great learning experiences for all of us - especially Newbies - (Little 
Pistols like me as opposed to BIG GUNS like so many others).
