    antenna party

    Off to my brothers place in Colorado for an antenna party this after noon. Putting a full size 3 el 40 (~200 pounds worth, glad he's got a crane coming!) and a KT36 up on a 150' rotating tower. I can't wait to hear how that 40 plays!

    Be careful. And if anything falls, move out of the way -- fast!

    Yes, definitely, pictures and a write-up.

    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.

    Shit, if I had my wife on the ground crew she'd tell me "okay, now that you've reached the top, take 4 steps to your right".

    However, please do be careful, and have the crane crew go back via my place. put it on the Popes tab
