[450] 1.25 cm Net/Misc.

[George Andrews]

I have an ICOM 37A and KW F6. The antenna on the house is an AEA Isopole. If 
there is enough activity on the band, I may add a horizontal loop. On the 
air time has been iffy of late and will be for a bit. I buried my mother 
yesterday.

Bob, will be hanging in there for a while. I don't anticipate taking antenna 
down, it will only go a bit higher!

George
