Thanks very much Fred!

I’ve not checked this forum in a while thinking that I would get an email if a response was entered….  So I really appreciate your guidance.

I guess I should’ve started with a vertical, but at this point I’ve already put up a few dipoles for 80, 40 and 20 so I’ve got a good start on the antennas…   All are below 1.4:1 so I think I’m good with those.

I’ve also been using the programming cable you suggested and can now scan known/desired frequencies… with the UV5R.

So thanks for that… and most exciting is that I’ll be attending the boot camp  next week so that should really get me going..

Much appreciation for that as well!!

Thanks and stay safe,

Tim Sagear
