New plan for this weekend, although don’t know if I can get it done for
Saturday. 

 

Not a real problem.  Extending to Sunday is allowable under certain
circumstances.  While a driving blizzard (or closest local equivalent – a
monsoon here, for example) is mandatory for one day completion, stopping to
tweak other stuff is sufficient cause for such a delay.  Managing “Honey-do”
list items can be but usually don’t count.

 

Build dipole cut for 5.3 with sealed transition to coax. Climb up to top of
tower, cut stupid vertical down. Locate center of new dipole at around
thirty five feet and install as inverted V with each leg of the dipole
installed to cause most inconvenience to all family members. 

 

Tower must be icy (or closest local equivalent) and tools must be left at
the base – or preferably in the shop – so climbing down and back up at least
once is included.  Note that legs (antenna, not yours) may not be marked in
any sort of eye-catching color but must be painted in such a way as to blend
in with the surroundings.  Also feedline must have at least one portion at
neck level of shortest person involved.  Pets don’t count.  They have enough
troubles with humans as it is.

 

And last of all remove bottom attachment point of vertical and ATU box and
stomp most vigorously.

 

Is this stomping in general or on the ATU?  If the latter, it will be
immediately before realizing its usefulness elsewhere.

 

Best regards,
