Hey it is not all babble. I had my bride hold one end of my dipole once
for a quick check of SWR. It sounds as if I would get out a lot better
if I had her up there holding one end all the time. The bad news is that
she said she was not going to help me any more with climbing trees and
fastening my antennas. She has done this for me for 50 years and now
suddenly she gets cold feet at going up in a little 90 foot fir tree.
What they say is true, "nothing good lasts forever".

She helps with antenna construction but will not climb a tree. I don't
know if this is legal grounds for divorce in Michigan. If it is, I could
show her the statute and ask her again about that 90 foot tree I want
her to climb. She started climbing trees for my antennas when she was 11
years old. How could she stop now????

I think you should be grateful for the free ride you got and leave it at that.
