[KLQRP] News from WA4NID

[Dr. David Johnson]

I hope this gets out to the list, it's been so long I've posted that I had to
look up the address!

Just want to say I wish I was with you last night, but I do hope to make
some upcoming QRPigOuts.

My family has been quite busy in recent weeks planning and getting
ready for a move. Not too far though - we are moving only about a 20
minute drive away from present quarters, to Cary.

Now here's the greatest part. We are set to close on a new house in
one week, and move in soon after. The lot number was 73  (!), and the
address is:

720 Quartz Crystal Place

(Isn't that, like, ten times 72  ??   ;-)

Now, is that just too amazing or what???

The new house is on a small lot with NO trees, and of course there is
a restrictive covenant - no antennas! BUT, there are trees out behind
our lot where the drainage area will be maintained by the city (or county?).
I'm thinking that I have possibilities for attic antennas, as well as running
some thin stealth wires out to the trees.

Well I just wanted to give you a little report. More soon...
And 72 x 10 to you all,

Sir Dave WA4NID
