[Lowfer] WG2XNI last night / this morning

[mbdittmar at comcast.net]

No, no perimeter wire. The 5' wires come off and attach to the roof of my house, the other 30' wire drops down towards the rear fence of my backyard. I need to get up on the roof this weekend to work on my weather station, so I'll take a few pics of the antenna while I'm up there.
