Any suggestions... other than ebay, or buying one new for $400+? :)<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Secondly, has there been any consideration in periodically holding MIVUS events somewhere around the east side? Or if I want to see something like that, should I just "build it" and advertise here, and they will come? Not sure how officially-sanctioned such things typically are.<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Last but not least, I am in a bit of a hole here geographically; I have yet to get a VHF signal anywhere west of about Howell with rooftop-level antennas. Is this typical? Antenna height is limited to 40ft here - at least when the code enforcement guys come to check it, ha ha - and due to the sort of "forest" conditions around here, I cannot use guy wires, and I really need to get up about 70ft before I'm well above the treeline. A 70ft telescopic would be ideal but not much luck so far. Any ideas on a stop gap solution? Short of moving/roving.... :)<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Or remote stations, heh.<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Thanks,<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Patrick<br></div><div dir="ltr">KB8DGC<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">_______________________________________________<br></div><div dir="ltr">MiVUS mailing list<br></div><div dir="ltr"><a ymailto="mailto:MiVUS@mivus.org" href="mailto:MiVUS@mivus.org">MiVUS@mivus.org</a><br></div><div dir="ltr">subscribe/unsubscribe <a href="http://mail.mivus.org/mailman/listinfo/mivus_mivus.org" target="_blank">http://mail.mivus.org/mailman/listinfo/mivus_mivus.org</a><br></div><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></div></body></html>
