Yes, I already have a Diamond discone put together, LMR400 UltraFlex 
coax connected to it and just trying to find someone to scamper up that 
tree. I contacted a couple of tree trimmers that promised to show up 
(this past fall) and then never did. Next month I'll start looking 
again. I, long ago, passed the age of climbing trees myself so must rely 
on outsiders for this. If anyone knows one, please pass my email address 
along to him. I'm located in Glen Burnie. Thanks very much if you do.

This past summer, when tropospheric conditions were good for about a two 
month period, I was hearing well into Pennsylvania, throughout Delaware 
and New Jersey and even over into West Virginia. As I've been fond of 
saying ever since I moved into this house, either I'm in a radio "hot 
spot" or it's simply poltergeist. But I sure do get good radio reception.
