Had a great day - my Marine son has finished his Masters in education and got his first real job ever teaching HS math. On my birthday, though, he moved out of our house to his first apartment ever, so my new bride and I are empty nesters for the first time in 16 months!

Key lime pie for breakfast, and a great steak at Tony's in Lexington for dinner, plus I'm getting a stealth antenna for the HF radio rig to dodge the HOA (hopefully), not to mention I keep waking up on the right side of dirt, so, yeah, it was great day!!

Chameleon Modular Portable Antenna System (MPAS) with the Mil Extension, giving me a 17' vertical that will hide in my trees nicely. I'd like a dipole, but the size of the lot and that whole HOA thang makes that difficult to do.

I do have a Pacific Antenna dipole that I'm thinking of hanging in a V from a couple of crappie fishing rods as a cover too, but this summer has been hectic, busy and rather eventful, keeping me away from Ham and gun stuff both.

We should be able to jabberjaw on 40M from dusk to 9PM or so with no problem.

PM sent to make certain you have the new number.
