Well my Saturday went well a Few of my friends came out to the country where I live and helped me put up my base antenna. I recently moved and was missing my buddies 20 some odd miles away. I could hear the bigger stations but couldn't get back to them. So we got together and put the antenna in a tree that was topped must have been a 60 footer but 20ft was cut off it making a nice little crows nest. My buddy The Chief 336 is our resident antenna monkey 20ft of thick walled pipe and an Antron 99 made for a very heavy pull up into the tree (we're not getting any younger LOL) with The Chief up the tree he managed to set the base of the pipe on a branch. I scaled the tree with a rope tied to my belt and pulled some ratchet straps up. After dancing the whole affair around to get it as vertical as possible we ratchet strapped it to the tree. It ended up 50 ft to the base of the antenna. my buddy Dan hooked his van up to it was talking Windsor Ontario within 2 minutes. Needless to say I was a happy camper. Well my buddies were not going away till I hooked up a radio. I have a little storage shed right under the tree we put the antenna in. So out came the power supply and a 2510 with a road devil mic on it and I heard nothing I waited a few moments and heard QSK I said go ahead QSK the guy said he thought I was one of his buddies and then told him where I was and he replied 351 Anchorage Alaska mobile I was very happy. So The Chief got back to his base and I hit him @ 9 S Units with nice audio , in fact most of the guys said I was doing about 9 S Units to that general area some 20 miles away. No it's not the 30 S Units I used to do. But hey I like living in the country better than the city Bman/Dave
Sounds like a good install and it's great to have others help.

I remember hearing a 24 or 21 in Anchorage the other day, thinking there was another from up there too - maybe you 351 - here in NE Ohio, but too many were trying for them, so I gave up.
