The tree is out of the front yard and driveway. The neighbor that did the work is absolutely a jewel. Started last night with cleanup of the vehicles. I personally caused the rain. I know this from many past experiences and could easily do an infomercial citing documented proof that when I wash my cars and RV the rain will come in 24 hours.
For just $29.95 plus shipping and handling, I will break the drought in your neighborhood too! But wait...There's more!... for an additional $39.95 plus separate shipping and handling I'll protect your car from bird droppings! Watch this! After causing the rain by my patent-pending "Wash-o-rama" method, I'll wax at least one of my vehicles! This will cause, without fail, all birds within a 3 mile radius to void their cloaca on my vehicle, thus protecting YOUR Car! Amazing!
Yesterday, the propagation and ionosphere was perfect for HF radio to Japan. Heard several loud stations working, but couldn't get a word in edgewise. Most of the "Big Gun" stations are running ten times my power and highly directional beam antennae. I'm setting up a new antenna here to try to learn the skills necessary for reliable HF work on the boat.
I shoot a light line over the 80-90 foot trees in my yard with a pneumatic potato gun I built several years ago. The gun is made of 2-inch PVC pipe, a Rainbird electric sprinkler valve and a home-made electric trigger box. Clears the trees easily.
After the new antenna is up, I'll install my new-to-me antenna tuner and see what we can get going. I really want to be able to tune the 80 and 160 meter bands here and 40 meters on the boat.
