Spent the day looking at options for a permanent antenna - thinking of two Windoms (more here and here), these are relatively efficient and cover a very wide range of frequencies. I am not able to use any of the really directional antennae as I am on a valley bottom between two mountains and the valley runs due North/South - need to bounce of the Ionosphere to get anything out. I can hit Canada really well but I want to be able to work everything.
Checking out telephone poles for masts - I could put up three of them and have a Windom pointing East/West and one North/South. Still in the beginning planning stages...
Had a bite to eat in town and back home for the night. Heading in tomorrow to pick up Lulu and get Thunderbunny's oil changed.
With the nice weather, we will be doing bruschetta (my version) for dinner tomorrow. The weather was so nice today that I sat outside at the restaurant - Grace lay under my table and I fed her the occasional morsel of chicken.
