[TMRA] Repeater question.

[Brian Knoblauch]

    I did pick up an antenna analyzer, next time I experience the issue, 
I'll start using it :-)  (I never even thought about it!  Sometimes the 
obvious escapes me...).  I did homebrew a couple different antennae with it 
(with varying amounts of success).

    I'll probably be looking for some more suggestions on setting up my 
antenna in the near future.  I'm currently using a far from ideal solution, 
with my antenna being indoors.  I may be picking up another antenna soon 
that I can put outdoors (I'd like to keep this j-pole inside for those 
stormy days, and easily accessible for going portable).  I have a tower 
available here, but it's a little further from the shack than I would like, 
and it's not as stable as it should be.  I'll need to address that issue 
before too much longer.

    Then there's the whole 6 meters thing :-)  I have an interest in getting 
setup for that as well!  I was starting to learn CW, but got a little 
frustrated.  So I'm going to back off of that for awhile and enjoy what I 
can do right now.  Then go back to the CW later.

Thanks,
Brian
