    I also have mixed feelings regarding the proposed cohabitation and ban on aerials, and based on conversations we've had you can pretty much guess my course of action regarding such.
    Oh, there's no ban on aerials. She just doesn't like the looks of guy wires.

    That wouldn't jibe with my antenna plans, either. I currently have two of the DX-SWL slopers in the air, oriented SE and SW. Plans are for five total at NE, NW and S. Another tower of 5 of their ham band equivalents for 160/80/40M...maybe 30M. For what they are, these things work very well.

    14.313 happiness for the WIN!

    And for what it's worth...... didn't make it to Dayton..... again.... high hopes for next year though. Hoping I can talk Charles into being my co-pilot for 2016. The Mrs. insisted that I go but have too much going on around the new homestead and shack to have made it this year. Charles and I did manage to do the Upstate SC Hamfest though, where I actually ended up spending as much money as I would have in Dayton, so there ya go. :)

    Me neither, to be honest.

    A 50'-60' crank up seems like a sweet spot. I don't need monoband stacks to be happy.

    Tom's being modest. He scored a sweet deal on a Kenwood HT of a vintage of unobtanium. SWEET DEAL!

    If Charles was any kind of a friend, he'd charter a plane for you, and put you up at the Dayton Marriott. Just sayin.........
