Dennis, 
&nbsp; 
I had time last night to install the
relays.&nbsp; I believe from the results that I had other relays which,
while not failing completely, were making partial contact.&nbsp; The
reason for this is that the V is working a lot better on some bands than
in the past. 
&nbsp; 
If you look to the north and think you
see the Cheashire Cat, it is only my smile.&nbsp; Perhaps Murphy is going
elesewhere. 
&nbsp; 
Let the guys know that the rig is
working very well, and my next steps as far as the station is concerned
are to put the Measures' QSK circuit into the AL-80A, which I have on
hand, and then to get all of the antennas up. 
&nbsp; 
The building relocation is getting
started, with permits for building, electrical, plumbing, and septic
system installation.&nbsp; Construction of our home should begin in a
week or ten days.&nbsp; The garage building has to be moved first and the
septic system installed.&nbsp; I am going to be one busy kid for a
while. 
&nbsp; 
Do not worry about antennas, because
that 70 foot high V-Beam with its 400 foot legs played very well for me
last year on all bands 160 through 6. 
&nbsp; 
I still want to get the other half of the tower up, put the tribander and
six meter beam on it and put up a real inverted-V which aims to the west
coast of the USA (as opposed to an omnidirectional inverted-V
dipole). 
&nbsp; 
I do not know if you heard the good news, but 5 WPM is now a rule in
Canada so more HF phone ops will be available in the contests.&nbsp; Pat
has put up 4-square antennas for 40 and 80 meters.&nbsp; I now will start
having a lot of competition in the contests on phone, and Frank, VY1AC is
still contesting on CW. 
&nbsp; 
With all of this competition, I hope that I can stir the gang up to do a
super job.&nbsp; Add the eventual improvements to my station, and
California will soon be the hardest section to find.&nbsp;&nbsp; 
:o) 
&nbsp; 
I am enjoying the &quot;Retirement&quot; and as is the general rule, have
been having far less free time... 
&nbsp; 
See you later. 
&nbsp; 
J.&nbsp;
