anyone have a bunch of pigeons? " NCScout is doing a RTO Class Friday night and he wanted to know if some/all of us could give it a try again. I asked him to suggest a time and Freq. If you folks are game, I will end this discussion and start a new one along with a revised SOI.
On another note: As per the Contingency through our P.A.C.E I went to 160-meters. Well my tuner wouldn't tune the antenna.
Upon checking out the base of my antenna today, I noticed a lot of bovine hoof prints in the snow, one wire pulled out of its connector, and a chewed antenna wire. Mmmmmmmm?
As I was bringing in firewood for tonight, my neighbor stopped by to say "hey."
I mentioned the minor damage to my antenna and he chuckled and said, "As you know while you were in NC we had a blizzard with 24" or so of snow. I guess the cattle got out looking for greener pastures. Nervous chuckle...chuckle".
"Guess so" I said.
Anyway, it was my fault for not checking my equipment before the net, not the Scottish Highland cattle.
Learn and move on.
