Opps FlaGpole... Dang fat fingers hit the wrong key.. I seem to have Typelexia.

Usually for HF I toss around 83 feet of wire in the air, From the KAT-1 Auto-tuner on the rear of the rig up a fish pole around 25 feet high then over a tree limb.. Where I am now (Cathead Creek Ranch RV park and cowboy church, Townsend GA) the nearest tree is 2 fields away,,,, Much too far for my long wire plus leader cord.. So I parked the flaGpole (And yes I typed it wrong again) under the right front tire (Well the mount at least) and strung my 50' wire.. JUST reaches the flag pole.. I'll have to re-configure slightly in a few days so I can fly the flag under the wire (Put a small ring (Plastic" on teh end of the wire and put the final on the pole) This pole usually carries my Wi-Fi hardware.
