Yahoo! Got the OK from my wifester to put up a G5RV as an inverted V on the side of the house! I have some other things I need to get first for a 4-day course at Front Sight in October, but this gives me a nice project for the fall months. It seems to be about the most stealthy approach I can take in my covenant-silly neighborhood, and I really don't think anyone will figure out what it is. I'm giving a serious look at a Flex Radio 1500 for my main radio at home. I already have a pretty beefy quad core system in my office, so the power is there to do the heavy lifting. This can potentially give me a reasonably feature-rich QRP radio at a pretty low price. I'll need to save up for the radio itself thru the winter months...
