Roof Line















I think this is a better rendering of the roof line.
I'm still learning how to use Google Sketchup. Pretty amazing
product...particularly since it's free!

Center Support



















I think I replaced the center support with steel cable none too soon. These are shots of several parts of the line that went over the top of two trees. Does anyone make a nylon/dacron line with a Kevlar jacket? Would that protect the core?

W4BXI Hum Test

This is a mp3 file recorded this morning, August 17, 2009, testing the efficacy of an isolation transformer at W4BXI between a telco autopatch and the Mark V. You first hear PTZ and BXI with the isolation transformer in place; then with the isolator removed; and then back in the circuit.

Deck Staining Project

Situated on the western brow, the sun comes up "behind" me. The valley below gets it first, then the western side of the mountain. I need to get an earlier picture with the "sunrise" on Sand Mountain across the valley and the valley still "in the dark."
