[TowerTalk] RE : To paint or not...

[Merlin-7 KI4ILB]

I must have got lucky.
My wife of 22 years has been helping me install my first tower. a 37' rhon
25 not counting the mast.
 It is almost compleate, the lmr-600 is here and I am just waiting for the
connectors (they should be here monday)
 I just got my ticket in febuary and now own 4-2 meter radios if you count
the HT.

 I wanted a tower for an antenna platform so that when I can afford a rig
that can do some dx on some of the other bands, I would have a stable base
to build off of.

 I aced the tech and the general written tests but now have to learn code
(sigh)
