    Hi Alan,

    Nice to read you again.

    I've been thinking of throwing a stick on to this field to see if
    anybody would pick it up. Hi


    I'm still here too :) KG4CNA in Opp, AL.

    My 20M wire is on the dirt....big limb took it down and I've yet to
    put it back up. Got 40 and 80M though :)

    As you may have read, I'm too "antenna handicapped" and it affects all
    HF bands.

    Haven't done much "hammin" lately though...I need to et back on the
    air!

    Neither have I for the above reason, but I'm keeping my ears open for
    activity on VHF CW/SSB, and the repaters on 2m/70cm. I hope however to
    be able to change my 15-el 2m yagi, to the 2-stacked Big Wheel I used previously.

    I saw that.

    Maybe you'll get it all back up in the air and ride some radiowaves soon!

    GM Allen,

    I'm tired of having to turn my 2m beam around to listen for beacons,
    tropo and aurora signals. The 2-stacked Big Wheel served me very well,
    and is a joy to use, when the aurora strikes, because you don't have to
    follow it across the sky, as you must do with a beam, to keep up with
    the strength of it.

    Maybe you'll get it all back up in the air and ride some radiowaves
    soon!

    Yeah, both of us, hi.
