Gary, Ben, Jay, Others;

Wow what captures! I am totally floored with these results. I did have 
it up and down last night and saw it several times in Jay's grabber. I 
ran out of daylight before I got the ground system together.

Right now the ground plane is made up of an Al extension ladder laying 
on the ground, clipped to a 3 ft long rod pushed 2 Ft in the ground, and 
a couple random wires laying on the ground clipped to the rod. I am 
going out in a few minutes to refine that a bit.

The antenna is 1 wire 26 ft up, with a 5 wire 20 Ft long tophat. All are 
17 gauge Al. electric fence wire.

Thanks Guys.
