    some people are like slinkys, not really good for anything, but still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

    What? Your antenna is bipolar? Like, somedays its happy and radiates really well while, on others, it just kind of sulks and you're lucky to be able to have a QSO with the guy down the street?
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    If built properly, then problem is coax. A little vodka on wire, everything OK.

    Should have hooked her up to see how she radiates, Mike. Probably really get out on 20m, around say... dot 275.

We saw one buck, though, with a full rack. The bus driver said something about "males sometimes hang out here, during the season, too." I thought that particular buck was pretty smart -- instead of being out there proving his manhood doing ridiculous things with his rack, he was where the good stuff was! Probably doing a lot of what's in that pic, too! ;) Hope he doesn't go blind!
