You get HF up and going?
I have both end supports up (one is at 70', the other is at 65') but I will need another person to man the guide rope while I have to maneuver out about 5' around a tree branch on the way up. That should be done Monday. When it's fully installed it should be about 66' (one half wave length) on 40 meters. I'm also on a hillside about 350' above the lake, so the antenna will "sound" like it's even higher.
When I bought this new QTH--and I could see mountains in Queen Wilhelmina State Park some 50 miles away...that's when I decided to buy a 6 meter rig (all mode). I'll home-build a 5 element yagi for it. When I saw what they wanted for 5 and 6 element yagis....definitely a home brew job. I've never been on 6M, but with being on a mountainside?? I HAVE to try it out. It might take a few weeks to get everything ready for 50 mHz.
BTW: Rip....thank you for fixing my post. Well done, sir!
My turkey is defrosting in the garage fridge. Normally I do the "Anti-Turkey" out on the grill, but since it's just the 2 of us this year, we're going minimalist. No pardon for mine!
