Is there an old fashion way to Buy you all a beer like with a money order? I don't have PayPal and I don't put credit card or debit card numbers on the computer. Just my personal policy but that doesn't mean I wouldn't like to donate to a worthy cause because this site has helped me many times

You should have put your cell phone in action and got some pictures for the post. I'll bet there is more than a few that Bend the rules and I guess if you have no-one close you can bother Let-ER-Rip !

Boy that is the truth about my neighbors. This town is known in the area as a welfare town and the ones that don't get a check direct in the mail are always looking for a hand out. I wonder where they think this Grant money comes from. In the mean time I just keep Hoeing ! LOL

Yeah it wasn't to good around here today. A sharp contrast to yesterday.

That's the way people are they are so busy watching someone else they get nothing done for themselves. My neighbors set on their arse for hours watching me work, I feel like a celebrity. LOL

What you saying makes my installation on my starduster illegal because my pipe mast and antenna mast are about 17' to the hub of the antenna and above the peak of the garage. Then you have the top element above the hub and don't remember the length of that but will guess 6-8'. OH Well it is...

I'm guessing if you had a Beam antenna on top of the tower you might be able to squeeze a couple more feet out of the tower depending on the height of the beam. But then again I don't know much about beams because I was always a Poor Boy. LOL

I just did a quick google on the matter and it said 60' to the top of the antenna unless your near a Airport and if you are there might be further restrictions.

That I couldn't say. I was out of radio most of my married years, raising my kids and taking care of family wants and needs. Money was just to thin to spread around. Maybe one of these other US operators can answer that. I can't remember if the 40' was to the top of the antenna but it might be...

I don't know if FCC rules have changed on height but I thought it was 40' max, but it might have changed.

My receive doesn't sound raspy, just seems like it doesn't have a strong receive. What I heard today sounded ok just doesn't seem to pull in the stations like other radios.

Oh and by the way Dave at DTB Radio did a superb of Fixing the Mis-Alignment on my Lincoln II+ because it was yacking out DX with the clarifier on dead center most of the day. Now all I have to do is figure out how to Fix the Receive. LOL

You sound like my twin brother LOL because everybody in town see's me fixing stuff and has stuff they want fixed. I try to be nice and not tell them ( You couldn't afford me because I haven't reached my dreams yet ) And then there is Family with all their Junk and they must think the Good Tooth...

I could see that happening especially if some one just inherited it and had no interest in it. More than a few lazy people in this world and cheapos but I thought the sale was sort of high from the beginning but had no clue about the antenna. I was pricing new towers, rotors & a shooting star...

Before I made any offer I would have to actually see the situation and equipment to see what kind of mess it is. I've spent my whole life fixing junk to have something to work with and the bod grows weary. That's why I'd like to know if the Antenna on the tower is worth the bother. I can fix...
