		<description><![CDATA[As it appeared the Anti-Slug Strips on my new raised beds under my 160m 1/2 Sloper were doing something unexpected, I have soldered all corners &#38; joints, and then soldered a jumper to my grounding halo.
I&#8217;ve also grounded the new junction box.
Testing this weekend.

		<description><![CDATA[Very interesting phenomena, the new raised beds having copper rims appear to have some effect on my half-sloper. Reports of 160m RF feedback for the first time were received after the strips went in.
I&#8217;ll be soldering them together and connecting them into my ground halo to see if I can eliminate the feedback.
Interesting!

Dayton seems to cover this whole gamut &#8211; with fans of the very [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=k9zw.wordpress.com&blog=706498&post=1874&subd=k9zw&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not on my usual radio topics, but have started writing up my acquisition of a vintage EEB Contrabass Sarrusophone!
This very rare and unusual instrument is related to the Saxophone &#38; Bassoon.  Pitch is an octave below a Baritone Saxophone.
It joins my other uncommon instruments &#8211; Bass Saxophone, Straight Tenor Saxophone, C-Tenor Saxophone, &#38; Straight Alto [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=k9zw.wordpress.com&blog=706498&post=1883&subd=k9zw&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Some of the topics I&#8217;ll cover are:

&#8220;Living in the Past&#8221;
&#8220;Keeping to Comparative Standards&#8221;
&#8220;Where be Tomorrow?&#8221;
&#8220;Having a field day at Field Day!&#8221;
&#8220;Parallel Universes&#8221;
&#8220;Would you go out like that?&#8221;
&#8220;Secret Handshakes, nah, lets go Whole Hog!&#8221;

That was true, but what was unforeseen was the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=k9zw.wordpress.com&blog=706498&post=1870&subd=k9zw&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Spent some time on Google Map and the wide swing around Chicago idea looks to add more miles than we can possibly make up on just trading better roads for shorter miles.
