Well folks the antenna testing is finished for today.

My quads boom wasn't strong enough to withstand a mild thunder storm that
just passed thru and the boom broke mid-way trashing almost all of the
bamboo speaders, which isn't really a bad thing as it proved to my wife what
I had said about the "break-away" spreaders in case of it falling so as to
not damage anything seriously.

Also noticed that the .030 MIG welding wire I used had already began to rust
even though the saleman said it was copper?!?!?

Back to the drawing board or AES for a "real antenna" as my wife puts it...
