Oh no,not Me. When I go "chasin skirts" I get Myself into trouble some way shape or form. Lookin back on past mistakes I learn I am far more tired of trouble than I am lonely,,true story and not likely to change soon. Just knowing that is worth alot.

Prolly not! All depends on My situation at the time. Generally I don't care about aesthetics here at home but being in a MH park I have to pay at least some attention outdoors. I just wonder about decent looking boxes of this type,wich seem to efficiently convert energy as they are,,if a removable s...

JimCNY,thanks. I might have to make several tries to build a fringe or deep-fringe antenna. There are stations closer than that but I don't know that any are line of sight. For now I'm going to try the basics with what I have and what I can get cheap,namely raising it up 10' to start with. Then I ca...

You know a body can get divorced,divvy up the assets,take the fixed income too,move to a cheaper country,get a much younger spouse,be happy as all-get-out living like a king,then,go through it all again someday. I'm told the real trick to not going through it all again is,,never bring the new spouse...

Planting Tobacco

Hi,I am contemplating planting tobacco along the south side of My metal skirting to shade it,if I can reduce heat build-up under there then less should rise up into here. This would add to the underbelly and vent functions. As an equal benefit I can dry/process/smoke the tobacco,today's FSC cigarret...

It needed new glass and there were no tubes in it. I thought about hauling it home and revamping it but just removed and junked it,,,*now* I fi...

I thought ghosting was an analog problem,in the event I try a 2nd antenna it would be to try to increase the digital signal. Yet,if there is a reason to separate the antennas for digital use,how far apart should they be? Is putting the 2nd 1' down the pole gonna work? 2'? More?
