I finally got my old Eavesdropper dipole antenna up in the air again in
preparation for the 2007/2008 DX season. I've not had it installed since about
1990 or so. Seemed to be OK in preliminary tests.

Tomorrow, I'll try to finish the coax installation into the house.

I have it oriented 150/330 degrees, main interest was to hopefully get better
South American reception.
