Ahh, that will be plenty of time for me to get the amp on the air. I got 
laid off work last Tuesday so now I have 7 days & nights to work on my 
station. Everyday is a holiday for me now...hi hi...The XYL tells me to 
forget about working any time soon as we will be alright on her income. 
Makes it easier with our son with me being a stay at home dad...hi 
hi...He is doing better in school already. Missouri would be a good spot 
for you if you had that option. Houston will work though. Anything is 
better than being on the other side of the world. Be sure and log your 
receptions on the 500kc.com site if you can. The more reception reports 
the better as our experiment is all about communicating at various 
distances. You can ask Dex to move as we all are free to move about the 
band. We just have assigned slots for the beaconing but some do move 
around as needed for QSO's and experimenting. I am going to be a floater 
of the group going everywhere in the band. The antenna tuning is broad 
enough for such a narrow band so a little SWR isn't too bad. Nothing 
like 1750 or 2200 meters where a couple KC changes the antenna tuning 
big time. Tell the boss that you need at least 20 acres next time with 
lots of tall trees for Ashlock loops or flat and bare so you can install 
a 190' base insulated tower...hi hi...Time for bed here, I have some 
vegetable gardening to do in the morning. Talk to you later es very nice 
hearing from you this morning.
