[K3PZN-List] Antenna Work

[Doug Drake]

Pete & Curt,

Many thanks for the offer and the info. Using the launcher should be able to 
get it up a good way without having to leave the ground. Not worried about 
DX on 80. I have a very modest station. Only running a 100 watts. My current 
folded dipole is not very efficient on 80 so anything will be a marked 
improvement. I'll make sure I have all the needed ropes, etc.  This cold is 
bound to moderate some time so will have to wait it out for a decent day. 
Thanks again!

73's
Doug
