I have waited for a week now… impatiently to get my new tower<\/strong> and start with the install… actually not a real tower<\/strong> but a pipe – foldover tower<\/strong> I am having made. will be 46ft tall and will lay down to the ground<\/strong> so I can work on things… really need<\/strong> to cut out the climbing.

\nI also have not gotten the vertical up to play with… got a new BB7V to put up and carry when out in motorhome but have not decided on how to mount it with motorhome and that brings a delay in getting it up for house as well. I also have to get some coax run<\/strong> under motorhome to the front (where the radio will mount) from the real(where the antenna will mount). It has been cold and wet and generally not nice enough for me to lay on the ground<\/strong> to run<\/strong> that cable so – I have procrastinated on both projects. Now it will be too late to do either. I am hoping for much better weather my next shot home<\/strong> so I can get these little projects put together and finished up.
