Here's a solution to that big wind catching loop.

That'll stay up for a few years I think.

Just got in from the lake. Took the family out on the ski's. Came home 
for dinner and now about ready for some chocolate ice cream. Yummy!!!

I haven't had any radio's on for a while. 40m is always open but many 
complain about little or no sunspots and don't stick around. Watch the 
later evenings as the band goes long for DX stations. 30m is also a darn 
nice band and it stays open after dark.

We all know how difficult it can be to make a contact on a LF or MF 
band, imagine those HF sissy's trying to run 1750m...ha ha ha...They'd 
give up the very first day. Those HF bands are always open somewhere, 
just gotta find that somewhere with someone alive on the other end.

What happened was I used a steel strap to bridge the main upright spar as a safety strap. It cracked. The strap is the kind used for water pipe hanging, has holes in it. Well it was torn apart that windy day in March.
