Well, you have a situation that Bill (WA/) is looking for in his quest to
collect data about operating loops in real-world situations. I have metal
outbuildings and metal roofs on EVERYTHING but the loop seems unaffected. It
would be good to see if the towers make a difference. I can climb so don't
be afraid to give a holler if you need work done.

OK, I'll set up for normal CW and see if you can copy. I'll send a note out
to the group when it is running.

I'm going to guess that you either robbed the cradle or your XYL is a
teacher. Either way, I'm glad she feels better.
