Milt what did you fly as a Nasal Aviator :). I have near 7000 hrs as a Naval Air Crewman. Started on EC-121Ms then EA-3Bs. On to EP-3Es as an Airborne Electronic Warfare Operator.

Milt & Jerry, Interesting stories. I have never fallen off a ladder, but have my own story. I needed to working on a roof mounted antenna so I got out my 15ft extension ladder and put it up.

My job as owner/installer of a small alarm company with many commercial installs was a lot of fun. However, I fell off ladders 4 times (was hoping for a 5th time and that would have made me an ace -

I fall down just standing on the floor these days...hi hi. I have a son that is over 6' tall and when a light bulb needs changing he's the guy I ask. 73 Lee N5SLY

Well, Jerry, I can hardly understand that Dr's order...I mean from someone that built a bookcase/console for his radio and it collapsed, what could possibly go wrong? On a serious note, I have to own

Drs. orders - NO Ladders ! Jerry

Jerry I reckoned you would just take a few feet out of the bottom. Old guys should stay off of ladders. My XYL gave mine to the neighbor. See you on the Double Header Barry

Hi John, Thanks for responding. I will do that on QRZ. Good thought. Phil, K8PVH

Phil, Send me an email so I can get your email address and I'll forward the article to you. You might want to post it on your QRZ page. kc3fl@... John KC3FL

Barry: Thought about taking out a chunk of the tree just below the antenna and then gluing it back together, but problem was how to hold up top of tree while sawing of a few feet. Jerry

Jerry Easiest way to lower the height is with a chainsaw. Bonus is wood for the winter. Hope to see you on the doubleheader Barry

Hi all, I just use a very simple inverted-L and it does pretty good.   It runs vertical for about 65 feet and then horizontal the rest of the length over to another tree.   I only have two 1/8th

Hi John, I too would like the article about the 40, 80 and 160 meter end fed antenna. 160 meters ought to be interesting. Phil, K8PVH

John, I'd like to get the article on the end fed. I've never worked 160 and don't have much experience with 80 either. I might be able to get some wire in the air before the next leg of the low band

160m antenna here is an Alpha-Delta DX-A which worked pretty well until I raised one end into tree and tree grew. It messed up the angle and now is non-resonant on 160m. Just need to get at tree and

Jerry, Lot's of information on 160m antenna's. What do you run on 160m? Me? I just "force feed" my 80m vertical. When the roll-back circuits kick in, I can still easily make Q's with Fred, W0PE, in

Wish that K9DX's remote site was still running. It had 9 `110 Ft. verticals in a circle (like a 4 square) with a doghouse in middle for tuning. Then there were all the Beverages. Visited there a

My beverage is short at only 150 ft and it works great on 160 and 80. I've even used it on 40 and 30 mtrs. I used something like a 470 ohm terminating resistor but I got tired of changing out the
