My Amish neighbors and antenna helpers were busy hunting deer last 
week. A total of 15 deer were bagged on my farm.

We will start the 160m antenna this week and I hope to have it on the 
air by Saturday.

I had to have installed a completely new heating system. Karen is not 
able to chop firewood anymore, so I put in a new heat pump with a 
propane back up furnace. The system works quite well.

I will post pictures of the antenna progress.

Clark, I could use a JA--I have no Asia contact so I do not have TB  WAC!!

Dave, I have heard those strange beeps in my radio also.I have 
noticed some are longer than others and they have random spacing.

BTW      I have quit using the Mercury paddle as an antenna 
counterweight. I am afraid it will disappear .
