Still 75 ships listed but 9 are pending their final Wuhan Flu directives from the people who run the museums.

Mr. Kennedy....get that skyhook up?

Unfortunately not yet. If it stops raining maybe, with luck, this weekend.

Yes, it's raining here too.  But MSWE kicks off Friday evening so I'm at least going to get the 5BTV up....I think.  I will also replace that 6 meter dipole with maybe a 40 meter...that will be easy since I have it on pulleys.  All I need to do is replace a few feet of wire on either end of the balun.

Actually, you can do that.  It's a novelty but people use them in their attics.

Hell, all the ones I have seen lately are made of plastic, or at least plastic coated.

We've been having - and are scheduled to get - thunderstorms through the weekend with lots of lightning. I ain't sticking a 17' vertical up in that! I have no lightning protection yet. The end-fed random in NVIS, maybe. I will definitely SWR tho.
