I was at church.
(If you are a fan of Blue Oyster Cult or just good hard rock you may like this band. And no, they are not satanic, they just sing about the dark lord a lot).
So, when you give the antenna height of your antenna, do you give it from the base of the antenna (input) or the tippy top?
Also, what matters on a vertical, the tippy top or the whole shebang? From what I understand (I'm just a Tech) the antenna tippy top is important to have clear of...
I understand Apple hate but to think Dell built them any better is crazy. My last MacBook went 8 years and I only sold it because I wanted a faster machine. My current is a 2015 model and it is fast and bulletproof. Anyone that has taken a Mac apart has to to appreciate their build quality.
Oh that is what the net is for! Net control will give you feedback, but 40LSB most evenings is active! 0630 local on channel 16 for old 23 channel crystal SSB radio and then at 7 the big net starts up on 40LSB. Tell them 213 sent ya!

I have a Drake SW8 but can't resist wanting one of these.
Yes, Seattle has an active core group! The channel 16 at 0630 local is the Old Timer's 23 SSB vintage check in... only classics!
At 0700 local, the Puget Sound 11m SSB net (lower 40) is run by my pal Joe, 312. We get between 20-40 people from the region who check in. Good peeps.
