[K3PZN-List] Greetings From Chesapeake Virginia

[mellema at qis.net]

Curt,

Thanks for the update...yes I have been reading the mail on the FD  
effort. FD is always lots of fun...I'll listen for K3PZN as I operate  
some CW with W4CAR..

I'm still studying various antenna set ups...I do have the HOA to deal  
with so I need to keep peace with neighbors. I remember the year the  
club ran QRP and I used one of your vertical set ups...it worked very  
well and I never forgot it. I think you now have an EAGLE antenna..is  
that right?

I won't be able do anything of course until the house is finished in  
September but I plan to get something up before it gets cold.

Thanks again Curt for your input...it is appreciated..

73's
