   I was sure they would be, and that it wouldn't last,   
   whatever you all got .

   Oh I'm sure I will .  The antenna even worked, and I   
   violated the first principle of building a new antenna.  You know you're   
   supposed to do them when the weather's not fit   
   for man nor beast, because then, or so the story goes,   
   you'll do it right, and the antenna will play nice.  IF you   
   do it when it's nice you'll have to do more work on it.   
      
   Just as well, it's my emergency deployment 80 meter wire   
   dipole, to be replaced by an 80 meter full wave loop when my buddy from   
   FLorida makes a side trip when he heads to   
   Baltimore.  HE's known as quite the full wave loop guru, and I've wanted to   
   see if I could get one to play on this lot   
   for a long time, and he thinks we can do it.   
      
   I note you commented you're cooler than normal for this time of year up   
   there.  YEah wouldn't doubt it.  WAs talking to a guy on the radio Monday   
   morning who's in northern quebec,   
   and he aid they were in the 40's fahrenheit for highs.   
      
   I finally bit the bullet over the weekend adn fired up the   
   air conditioner to keep Kathy breathing good, but last night when we got home   
   from radio club meeting around ten I killed them and opened windows again.    
   I'm still sandals and short   
   sleeves, but windows are open, and a nice breeze is blowing   
   in.   
      
   Regards,
