Well my apologies for all the guys I didn't get to give a point. 
Arriving in the shack I discovered, with a bit of excitement, my 160 ant 
had a huge problem. Exciting moments with the rig. The TDR showed a coax 
short at 183 ft of the 325 ft run.

The temp at the time was 17 deg F headed to 5 deg for the night, and it 
was getting dark. Two choices here. Head out with the head mounted LED 
light, a real 'head'light. Or go spend some time with the XYL. My 
election was time with W0MOE.

Sunday, believing the TDR, I went to 183 ft. Aha. A connector. And you 
can guess the rest. So not trusting any of it, today I made up a new run 
of coax shack -> ant.

See y'all in the tty roundup.
