Are you referring to  "The  Thunderbirds?"

  Oy. Seems every time I'm there, there's a chance of thunderstorm......Oh! wait.....I forgot 
that's every stinkin' day this summer.  So I didn't contact group previously for testing. It's 
also been middle of week as my days off are usually Wed/Thurs.  Ahhh, but next weekend, I'll be 
there (Polish festival in Riverhead). Going on Fri night, coming home Sunday afternoon.  So I'll 
be on those nights, weatherpermitting, and provided I'm not passed out from all the kielbasi, 
pierogi, luksha, kapusta and kautuflai all washed down with large quantities of pievo.
  Yea, I'll be on, come hell or high water. I'll have a weeks vacation coming soon where I'll be 
there quite a bit.  Radio will give me something to do at night.  The town blows, no boat yet, no 
internet, and with the new roofmount tv antenna I put up I can get chn 7, 21 and 55. Kinda like 
living back in the 50's. Wouldn't surprise me to turn on the tube and see Howdy Doody or in your 
case Bob, those outer-space marionette cadets with the bushy eyebrows (the name of the show 
escapes me).

Ok, shows the basic L.I. shack with the RCI as the workhorse for 10/11 meters and the transverter 
on top, with the 10in/160out amp on the left. This will give me am, fm, lsb, usb and cw.  2  10  
and 11, don't need anything else out there for now. Other photos show the mast set-up. The  cap on 
top of the 1 1/4" pipe will be taken off, another 10' of pipe added, a "4-way tee" placed on top 
with a final 4' pipe on that. Two 1' pieces will be screwed into the sides of the cross to 
accomodate my extension ladder. The pipe to mast is accomplished with 1 1/4" and 1" gal. split 
ring hangers, pieces of 3/8" threaded rod sleeved with 3" pieces of 1/2"emt.  This is the same  
mast set-up at CT although it's more massive.  What the photos don't show is the pipe to house 
bracket (split ring with 1/2"rod through shed wall), and the 8' of 1'' gal driven into the ground 
and up inside of the big pipe.  So I got or will have a beefier pipe system ( hey.... with a 250 
lb. plumber standing on top of that ext. ladder, I need all the sturdiness I can get). The 24 feet 
of pipe and 20 feet of mast will be topped off with the 23foot Imax2000 10/11 antenna.    There it 
is.
