All this winter snow & ice, must be result of Icebergs evaporating & 
returning to earth..  ;-)

I just wish I could have a transmitting antenna from my apartment (Do 
have 10M & 40M wire receiving antennas & use a dual band MFJ 
mag-mount 6m/2m antenna for other bands in my apartment, stuck on top 
of a steel file cabinet, but don't want to absorb all that RF energy 
in close confines in transmitting.).

I often go to a friend's home a few miles away to participate in 10M 
nets, but as with 6M, propagation on 10 is LOUSY right now & my 
friend has a number of wire antennas strung in the trees in his back 
yard, with a Hustler 6-BTV antenna between the trees, mounted to a 
long piece of pipe in the ground for other bands..

So much for now, I can smell a pizza in the oven, which means dinner 
should just about be ready,
