Well I got my new Yagi and rotor up on the tower 
yesterday. I rode the bucket attached to a crane. 
Probably about a 'D' ride at Disneyland. Also during 
the net I announced that we, ZUT, had obtained George 
Manning's old call -K1CG-.
Comms weren't bad. Not great mind you but not terrible 
either. I got a long epistle from Jim/KL7IBT at the end 
of the net. I looked on COMMONE.ORG recently and I really 
like the collage of picture of old time stations, etc that 
was done. Watched George and Bob again too. Nice work.
