[NLRS] prelims done...sort of

[Dave Aho]

Well, so far it looks good.  the 160 meter test did
not work...as I realized after that the mast pipe is
PAINTED...thus I had no continuity to the actual
loadling coil...so I cranked it back down and scraped
paint and got the entire 25 feet of masting and teh
1/4 wave coil/stinger assy to load...no-one on 160 or
80 yet, but it is a 40 over nine signal in 8-land. 
Now to hook up the wires and calibrate the rotor  to
teh controller for the beam.  that and get some
cleaning/organizing done.  so as far as it looks I
will have a killer 125-150 watt signal onn 40-10 meter
for sure, and hopefully on the other two also. 
Maroon....we have RF!!!!!
