Hello all again, after a real nice summer camping in a number
of states all over the western state's and playing radio it has
been real fun this summer.

I did take Wade's hint and started to use a 35amp astron this
summer, I installed a feed though for my antenna hook-up in
the one of the side compartment doors. Thus I used the
High Sierra screwdriver antenna on my truck this past summer
and worked allot of my friends on 20 and 40 meters.

I did install a ground lug from the frame up to were I setup
my radio, I then drove a 4ft ground rod close to the trailer
just for my peace of mind. I made sure I was not close
to the camp ground stuff like water, electric or sewer..
One of my camping neighbors ask me why I put the ground
rod in, I said that you never know when lighting was going
to strike, he walked away shaking his head

All and all this has been a freat summer of camping and
travel, looking forward to next year....
