[Lowfer] 137 busy !

[Howell, Laurence J]

Ah you Canadians all look the same :-)) -

 I shot a line over the tree at dawn and pulled the probe back up into the limbs probably around 50ft or so. Storms to my North near Kansas City but cloudless in Butt Vile Ok.

The leaves are a falling in AK and the sap is on the retreat so I'm sure the 137 vertical is off tune, but it makes little odds as they is so much signal from this sized "array" - 

looks like the acre next door in AK hasn't sold this season so the K9AY has another reprieve up there. Snow want be long now.

Watch them bears - they may be in the trees waiting for you - running away from Momma Moose  (ill send you a shot of a Black bear just doing that at XDW a couple of years back...)

Ill put AK back on 137 in a couple of hours.
