I'm sorry to tell you guys my 40 meter antenna is on the fritz.  So far 
this summer I've lost at total of 7 traps, 6 on my Unadilla Dipole and the 
30 meter one on the DX77.  All my life I've used trap antennas without any 
troubles, now this.  And the funny thing is, I'm only running 100 watts and 
most of the traps that failed were not on the band I was using when I 
transmitted.

At any rate, I have a dipole on 80 and am hanging out on 3535 KHz when I 
have spare time.  I have a new Butternut HF2V on order and should be 
getting it in a couple of weeks, so that should get me back on 40 when it 
comes.

Good luck to you fellows on the CW practice.

Very 73,

Tracy WB6TMY
