I’ve got the 28 radials laid out. The one on the far right ( you can’t see it) is stapled down with plain steel staples that will rust away. I haven’t stapled the other 27 down yet as it is too hot out here.

I’ve got the 28 radials laid out. The one on the far right ( you can’t see it) is stapled down with plain steel staples that will rust away. I haven’t stapled the other 27 down yet as it is too hot out here.
It’s up!
No radials installed, nor feedline. But it’s up!
Antenna wires cut and labeled. Radials next.
Still figuring out the best place for this: outside of the workshop/radio shack, but blocked to the south by the house (this has a low radiation pattern), and a bit close to a yellow jacket nest, but spouse approved, or 40 feet further away, but not blocked by the house, no known yellow jacket nests, but not spouse approved. But twice as much feedline required.
Antenna arrived. 10-80m
I have a bathroom to tile tomorrow. But tonight?
Still need to order cable and connectors.
