[TenTec] Here we go.....

[Al Gavenas]

Sorry I did not get back to you right away.  My computer crashed sometime 
late tuesday.
I could bring up windows 98 in the safe mode but when I brought it up in 
the normal
mode, I had no cursor or mouse control.  I did not want to loose any of the 
old programs on the hard drive so I tried to reload windows 98 over the old 
windows 98
on the hard disk.  Lost two days of time in getting windows 98 reloaded 
from a CD.
I was lucky this time in that I did not loose anything important on the 
hard drive.
The only thing that changed was the position of some of the Icons on the 
desk top,
but I can move them back to the way they were.

About the antenna tunner, I don't know the answer to that.  I am not up 
much on antennas.  I am using a MFJ all band vertical and I have to string 
up new Coax
to it as the coax that I had going to it was indoor type with a green 
plastic
covering that did not hold up outside.  Got 80 ft. of Rg14 A/U double 
shielded
cable at the flee mkt. over the weekend with type C connectors on the ends. 
 You guessed it,
I had to make my own adapter by mating a type C to a PL259.  If anyone is 
interested
I can send them digital pictures from my camera as to how it can be done.
Rg14 A/U is somewhat thicker than Rg8 and I don't think I could get a PL259 
on the end
with both shields.  Anyway the mod I made keeps the double shield and 
should work just great. Hope to get it strung up by the weekend.

Good luck on the test.
