Comments:

Thanks to those with ears that could hear my signal - I'm sure it was in the
noise for everyone. I had a full-size wire vertical all set to hoist into the
tree, which I had planned to do on Saturday afternoon, but in the process some
things went wrong (as Mr. Murphy always seems to make sure of) and about
sunset, my support rope came apart and my vertical came crashing down as I was
hoisting it up. So I punted, and took the vertical wire and ran it horizontal,
about 6' off the ground, around a perimeter fence. That, plus one 90' wire for
a counterpoise, and I was on the air.  I had planned to do this QRP, but had
hoped to have at least a decent antenna to do it with. Oh well :)

Rig: KX3, 5W
