Onward!

I received my MFJ-201 Dip Meter via UPS yesterday, so I'm soon to be back on track building my attic antenna system.  Hopefully I can figure out how to test these coils over the weekend, and get it done prior to RARSfest, although it isn't as big a rush any more, since until I have a steady source of income (read: job) again, I'm kind of restricted on buying toys (like Antenna Analyzers).

60 Done... but on hold

It's been a while since I've posted... yes, I did finish my 60M traps, after getting the new coax.  I'm still waiting for the dip meter, so I haven't tuned anything yet.  Unfortunately, I've also lost my job, so it may take a little while before I can afford to buy an antenna tuner.  But I'll get there eventually.  The RARSfest is coming up though... and I'll be attending even if I can't afford to buy any toys.
