Happy Thanksgiving!

May you and your families enjoy the day.

We're having my wife's oldest son over, and I'm going to work on getting the Eggbeater antenna up and operational.

I'm going to redo all the bolted and screwed together connections with some Penetrox, and then weatherproof them with some electronics grade RTV.

Then I'll mount the antenna and preamp on the mast I bought today, and enclose the preamp in a Rubbermaid tote box I picked up.

Hopefully by this time tomorrow I'll have a better antenna installed for the "Dongle" project that I've been reporting on.

Keep it civil, please....

Gloomy, Gritty, Grey Day

 At 1700 local it's as described in the headline; 30*F, 88% RH, completely overcast, snowing like crazy (small flakes, but lots of them)...
