The local club bulletin came in Friday's mail; had a tearful plea for FD ops.
Despite my druthers, I called the Band Chief. "I was about to call YOU", he
responded. "Did you get your license yet?"
Reminded him 1) I DID have a license, 2) I managed to make over 1000 QSO's
running barefoot in this year's ARRL CW DX and WPX CW contests, 3) Last year,
the other local club operated Field Day in the four-transmitter category;
I got half their total points (bonuses and all) with my CW station.
"Great!", says he. "Just come to the big Field Day picnic at 2:00 Saturday
and we'll figure out something for you to do."
BE STILL, MY RACING HEART!!!

Help Needed with 1-wire CT Network!!
I recall seeing some discussion here about making a CT network work
with half the required number of COM ports, by running a single
signal wire, from TX on one computer to RX on the next, and so on.
If anybody on the reflector has actually made this work, please
let me know.

You might try posting a message to the CT users group, ct-user@mlo.dec.com.
Somebody there probably has experience with this.

RE the question on getting mast material...
I would strongly recommend checking out the Productivity Resources
(K5RC) ad in NCJ. The masts are heat-treated and rated at 110-130K PSI
which is just a huge number. I got a 22 foot piece (it weighs 8-9 pounds
per foot...multiply it out) that is built like a tank. My calculations
indicate that I can put about 8-10 SF on top of it in a 90 MPH wind and it will
be ok. My house will blow away before that. Prices are right. Do yourself
a favor and get a mast that you don't have to worry about.

I use very similar stuff from a local vendor (in Denver); mine has 8' down
in the tower and the rest (about 15') above. It has 1/4" wall. I have a
cushcraft 402BA at about the 12' point, a couple of long-boom 2M yagis
in the middle, and a big tribander at the bottom; also a dualband vertical
sits on top. Wind here (denver) hits 80-90 MPH in the spring and it's been up
for about 4 years with no damage except the 402BA is a few degrees off in
azimuth now - not worth fixing as it hasn't moved further in two years.

I have purchased a 20' mast from Texas Towers. It has withstood my
requirements for 7 years now. It came galvanized.
Have also bought a 12' mast from K5RC. It is definitely heavier and
comes with a report on the tested yield strength. I purchased an option
to have it galvanized. The only problem is it
is so heavy that I haven't been able to get 2 people over to help me haul
it to the top of the tower. Shipping was $100 from Tx to Ma (ouch!).
If you need true industrial strength, the K5RC mast is probably the
easiest/best way to go.
However, the Texas Tower masts seem to be quite satisfactory.
