That's what that first tower climb in the spring is about.  You feel 
just like a kid the next day, a kid the day after the first sports 
practice. <:-))   put 10- to 15 miles a day on the road bike on the wind 
trainer just to keep the weight and BP down.

Tis my back and hips.  I buried 40' of 2" conduit and pulled in three 
133' runs of  CAT6. Now I find one of them is dead. Ah, well, that one 
was too long anyway.  My back problem is due to having to run the 
conduit under two ground cables in the middle of the yard between the 
garage and shop.

Now I need to get the computes set so I can control the station from 
either the house or shop.  The SO2R relays are in at the base of the 
tower. Now I need a rig and pre tuned GU74B amp for six in each 
location. OTOH I don't think I'll be able to keep the AV640 running long 
with the legal limit when it's rated for 300 watts PEP on six. Of course 
I could put in a new HL-1.5Kfx at each location with auto tuners, but I 
might have a wee bit of a problem convincing my wife I need two (or 
more) amps <:-))

Probably so, but it's like my bit antenna array. It's taking me a 
longggg time to get them fixed, but once they are back up and running 
it'll sure be a sense of accomplishment.  BTW the pins and plate in my 
ankle only bothered for about 2 years.  Think positive.

73 and good luck,
