Subj : Off The Air Until Spring To : Al Kaiser From : Sean Dennis Date : Wed Dec 13 2023 07:06 pm Hello, Al! Replying to a message of Al Kaiser to All: AK> I'm off the air until I can get the SteppIR Controller fixed and also AK> check the antenna itself on the tower, which I will need help getting AK> down because I can't do heavy lifing and ladder work anymore. I have a 135' long EFHW going into a 9:1 balun mounted on top of my dad's shed I can't get down since my dad or I can get up on a ladder anymore. I have a beautiful Mosley RV-4C (10-40 w/ 80 meter coil) that need a new base piece but nowhere to mount it at my apartment. AK> I'n restricted to 40 meter FT8 and some CW, but this will go to in the AK> sprint as I have to sacrifice that antenna because it is the source AK> of RIF which killed the SD100. All I have is 2 meter which is dead in my area except for a few nets I check into weekly. 73 DE KS4TD, Sean --- FleetStreet 1.27.1 * Origin: Outpost BBS Local Console * bbs.outpostbbs.net:10323 (1:18/200) .
