will do some testing to see if there is any difference at all.&#160; I do not expect much but maybe a little less noise and a slightly different radiation pattern on both it and the 160 meter windom.&#160; The windom is just below the dipole but runs north\/south and the dipole runs East\/West\u2026 I had to move the standoffs for the windom coax feed to the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>SE<\/strong> side of the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>pole<\/strong> from the SW side\u2026 turned the support for that 180 degrees and then mounted the dipole above.&#160; I also put insulators on the guy wires so I can now load the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>pole<\/strong> as a vertical\u2026 it is a little over 43 ft tall but with a proper Un-<strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>UN<\/strong> and tuner It should load all bands\u2026 <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>right<\/strong> now it loades 160 through 20 no problems\u2026 next after that is to lay out some radials from the base of that <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>pole<\/strong> and see how that works out\u2026 This&#160; set of changes will give me a few months to check it out and if necessary do any more maintenance before fall and winter when I hope to do a <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>bit<\/strong> more on 160 meters when it gets cold\u2026 and use the vertical to get a <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>bit<\/strong> more DX in the log\u2026 <\/p>\n<p>Now none of that looks like a <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>lot<\/strong> of work but it took me from 7:30 to 5pm pretty straight other than a break for lunch to get it all done and paint the standoffs the same color as the tower\u2026 put all the parts together for the new stand-offs on the ladder line, etc\u2026 <\/p>\n<p>Yesterday was a busy <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>day<\/strong> but not much really worked out right\u2026 late Wed I had set an appointment for the doctor to look at my ear\u2026 I had been having extreme pressure and blockage in that ear, left over from the cold and all, and I had a <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>lot<\/strong> of horrible echo when I talked\u2026 that was to be at 11:30 and late Wed afternoon the dentist called and said they had an open spot at 9:30 on Thursday\u2026 ok, move that up a week and get them both in <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>one<\/strong> day\u2026 at 8:30 am the dentist called and said they could do the cleaning but the dentist would not be in the office as he was called out for an emergency\u2026 ok\u2026 I can go on with the cleaning and if they find a problem then I go back?&#160; and just before I was to leave for that <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>one<\/strong> the other Doctor called and said he was called to the hospital for an emergency and could I come at 2pm\u2026 ok not a problem \u2026 by at noon I got another call and they Dr would not be in the rest of they <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>day<\/strong> but if I needed to come on in and they would squeeze me into see <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>one<\/strong> of the other Dr\u2026 well by then my ear had quit hurting, no more pressure and pretty much back to normal\u2026 may have cooked it out the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>day<\/strong> before?&#160; anyway I just cancelled that appointment.&#160; I also had an appointment at 3 for a haircut as I was really getting shaggy\u2026 that is the only <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>one<\/strong> that didn\u2019t cancel but he couldn\u2019t fit me in earlier either\u2026 so I wasted the whole <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>day<\/strong> chasing appointments and Dr\u2019s and other mundane crap\u2026 <\/p>\n<p>Toda was a normal slow day\u2026 I got my long walk in.&#160; I thought I walked pretty fast and my wife always complained I walked too fast even when \u201cstrolling\u201d but today\u2026 I got passed by a guy that had to be 10 years older than me\u2026 (maybe)\u2026 he was crouched over, swinging his arms and picking them up and laying the down\u2026 actually he was walking nearly fast enough to keep up with a slow jogger\u2026 But it was a really nice morning \u2013 cool with a lite breeze and just <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>right<\/strong> but a hour later it was getting a but muggy\u2026 I got done with the walk, set on the back deck and cooled with my juice and breakfast bar\u2026 then set out to&#160; \u201cwhack some weeds and bushes\u201d got out the whacker and took after a bunch of the over growth of small cedars and thorn vines in and around some of our trees.. I intended to get the brush cutter off and put on the grass trimmer but never got to that\u2026 found enough brush to cut that I cut till noon\u2026 went in for lunch and got back and finished up on some more thorn vines\u2026 got a <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>bit<\/strong> hot&#160; so laid it all down and cooled on the back deck again\u2026 had thought I might get the front power washed but just never got to that\u2026 <\/p>\n<p>Played a little with the new antennas but with varying condx it is hard to tell if it is any different but at least they all work and I didn\u2019t screw things up\u2026 yet.<\/p>\n<p>&#160;<\/p>\n<p>WD0AJG<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, that is the focus of my days now\u2026 finding an overload of nothing things to do\u2026 Great life if you can afford it.<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday it was a very nice, cooler and very little wind day so I started early on the roof taking some antennas down to move to a higher spot on my tower\u2026 <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The stuff on the right came down.&#160; doesn\u2019t look like much and that is they way it is suppose to be\u2026 it was a 160 meter dipole and some other stuff\u2026 once that was all down, some minor maintenance had to be done and then I let the tower (on the left) down.&#160; (nice that it is on a winch and hinged at the base so it <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ishmaels.net\/blog\/2014\/07\/11\/busy-doing-nothing\/\">&#8220;And Now the Rest of the Story &#8211; &#8220;Busy doing nothing<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16620","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","odd"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Busy doing nothing - And That was How it Went<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ishmaels.net\/blog\/2014\/07\/11\/busy-doing-nothing\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Busy doing nothing - And That was How it Went\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Yes, that is the focus of my days now\u2026 finding an overload of nothing things to do\u2026 Great life if you can afford it.
