Well Budly, how does it work? I see you have the same pitch on your roof as mine! STEEP!

In my old age, I am afraid to walk on it!

I'll park the beam to the east, Kevin. Give a call on 50.4AM after 6:00PM weekdays. All day on weekends.

I uses to do a lot of mobile with my IC-746. Often times I would just set it on the 6 meter FM calling frequency and wait for something to happen and I was not disappointed. The signals were almost always full quieting and at first I though they were locals that I stumbled upon, because they were so strong?  I'm going to put my G-50 back on for the winter months. I have no idea when conditions are good or what??
