I finally got set up on the club reflector. Was an easy process just my lack of 
motivation while playing with wire antennas etc. My wife and I are spending our 
first full winter in North Carolina. I live in a HOA so I won?t be putting any 
tower up soon. Maybe if the Ham Radio Parity Act goes into law before I become 
an SK I have a chance for a tower here. I do have some trees to hang wires that 
my neighbors don?t seem to mind. I basically used my RV to pack as much as I 
could legally carry to NC this year to my new winter home. My station is very 
simple here. A Yaesu FT-920 and wires for 160 thru 10meters. I am using a trap 
dipole on 40/80 that I tune with an antenna tuner. Since I usually run HP 
Assisted from my NY QTH I find LP a little frustrating without a beam. However 
it is nice when guys like FR5DX hear you on SSB on the noise floor. I will be 
bringing my AL-1200 back down to NC this fall. I am going to fabricate some 
delta loops when I get back to NY to hang from my high trees next fall here. I 
was able to work the K1N operation last month so that leaves me with just ZS8 
to finish off my mixed DXCC. I have heard and worked many of the club members 
in SS CW and Phone over the years as well as 160 contests. I hope I can find 
the time to get to a club social event soon. I fear that probably occurs during 
the summer months when I will be back in NY. Hope you all have a great spring 
and summer and special thanks to John K4BAI for his help in getting me involved 
in the SECC.
