I had one of those antennas back in the 80s I really liked that antenna ..theres one sitting on house down the street down me and it still looks as straight as an arrow..I should see if they want me to take it down for them and dispose of it properly..I used to run a polomar 300a through it with no problem..ran that set up for 5 or 6 years till I put up the beam..good find you got there..73s

I listened to part of the Roundup with my Media Player last night and everyone I copied sounded great but I got no handles. I have a problem with intermittent operation of the streaming audio, the Media Player keeps buffering because of my slow crummy ISP. I logged into the chat room and got a hello from 441 and Sandbagger but since I've evidentally gone brain dead I couldn't quite figure out how to chat. I could type in a sentence on the space at the bottom of the page but I saw no way to send. I wasn't ignoring you guys, I didn't know what I was doing. Can someone explain to me how to use the chat room please? Tombstone well I had the same problem I thought I was really stupid or something I TYPED IT BUT COULDN't SEND IT glad it wasn't just me
