Gene,
 
Your sigs were NOT heard in Farmingville, NY.  All other stations were Q5.

"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance."
- Cicero - 55 BC

I might later have to construct a resonant dipole for 60M.  In the meantime, I'm thinking of adding another sloper to the tower, this time for 60M.  I get on 80M with another longer sloper.  Eventually I'd like to put a real green radio on the net, but first things first.
