I find myself getting very frustrated with things lately, I still havnt resolved the issue with the tower and im getting very concerned that the only way to sort this out is to spend money that I havnt got on hiring transport, thats really not on the agenda so the brick wall is still in the way and Im still banging my head against it

finding it a struggle to work some of the longer distance stuff due to the severe antenna restrictions Im having to deal with in light of not having the tower here, my only option in the short term is a 20ft scaffolding pole with a 6ft stub mast from the rotator, at least that would get the antennas up at a reasonable height and give me a fighting chance

On a slightly more positive note, 12m opened up this afternoon quite well, with the low dipole I managed to Bag ZC4VJ and V51AS both new band slots for me, also EA9PY on 17m also a new slot so it was all doom and gloom, allegedly !!
