Mighty nice.

I am always thinking of things like that in my dreams but the next day I can't remember enough to write it down for a project.

That's what usually happens to me, but when I'm lying there for 2 hours thinking about a problem I tend to remember better

 

Whew!  6m Moxon deployed.  Only took 5 hours, started at sunrise.  You can just see a bit of the wooden bushing I made.

Any interference between the bands due to the close proximity?

Generally speaking I only use one at a time.  Have to admit, I was concerned about the density at first.  It all seems to work pretty well together. 

 

Hanging from the pecan tree, @40' is a 10/40m doublet, next down is the 6m Moxon @30+'  These antennas are connected to a Kenwood TS-590s and used exclusively for digital modes.  On the spreader bar is an Ultimax 80/40 double bazooka on the left and a Palomar Engineering OCFD for 10/40 on the right both @30'  These are used for SSB voice on an Icom 7610.  Other antennas not pictured are a 10/40 Hexbeam and a 2m/70cm VHF vertical.  Collectively this is referred to as an antenna farm.  For my convenience these run through antenna switch hardware that I can change on the fly from my desk.

No not really, but way less stressed walking by looking at that donut box.

And now that it's empty you'll be going through Donut withdrawal.

Have not had trailer to move it down there. Gonna do it Next Wednesday, I hope.

Someone seems to have the right idea...

Something to work with, until the Lumber Run has been made...

A batch of leftovers that have been resawn to 1/2" thick....might be a box or 2 in there, somewhere?

I spent the day clearing/cleaning out my barn workshop in preparation for the Crafts of Colrain Studio Tour this weekend. 

Now I can't get into my shed.
