Well, I finished up running the new coax and rotator wire from outside to my humble radio shack in my basement office. All the grounding is finished and there are only a few fussy little jobs to complete like making a small water resistant cover for the two lightning/surge protectors in the coax. I may just use an empty Coffee Mate container I have on hand, no need to get too fancy with this.

I haven't made any contacts yet but there is a remarkable difference in my ability to hear contacts on the M104C versus the V58. I'm going to give it another try tonight.

To mark the occasion, I have been stung by a hornet twice in the last two days. once in the palm and once on the top of the head. Pushy little fekker shouldn't have done that. I a very much a live and let live person but not in this case. They started it and I'm going to finish it! At least I don't have the same allergic reaction to these stings that my Mom had.

Thanks to everyone for a) your patience with me turning a two day job into 4 months and ) your advice in better ways or different options to do something.

Unit 132 northern Wisconsin out.
