Full report on the wind bringing down the OCF now that the sun is out - the rope chaffed and broke over one of the tree limbs, which seems to happen about once a year, even when I use weights or bungees to try and give it some ability to move. Anyway - when it warms up this afternoon I'll get out the big sling shot and shoot a line back over and hoist it back up, so I should be back in business by the end of the day.

I think I'm in the market for one of the ~50' push up masts - either metal or heavy duty fiberglass would prob work for me. Will try to pop in on some local hamfests over the winter and spring as I can to see if I luck out, but if anyone in the PA/NJ/MD area knows of anyone who has one to offload let me know😀

#HamRadio

Was just thinking about the cassette tape adapter I had in my first car so that I could play CDs via my discman through the cars cassette deck 🤣

And that was after I took out the factory AM only radio and installed that banging Kenwood am/fm/cassette head unit.
