"Give beer to those who are perishing, wine to those who are in
anguish." Proverbs 31:6

I assumed that without wine, you had to be in anguish. :-)

In the words of that old song, "I can't get well without muscatel."

I don't think Reg would imbibe Dago Red or Thunderbird; absinthe is more his
style.

No Cecil.....
If you're without anguish you can't have any wine.
Unless Reg says so.

PS and requisite antenna post:

Concrete pour for the tower in Monday at 7AM.
Leveled the base with a laser transit.
The yagi is a 4 element SteppIR, it will be at 50 feet on a 70 foot hill.
Finally! After 42 years of ham radio I get my beam-on-a-tower.

Hi OM,

Bond the rebar cage and have a lead to it accessible for an Ufer
ground.

The tower's a 48' Trylon self-supporting affair.
The base, rebar cage, and additional rebar driven into the hole walls for
positioning are all welded together.
The contractor made damn sure the base will remain plumb during the pour.
I intend to use 3 - 6 additional rods outside the cage attached to the legs
with big cable.
Not familiar with the term "Ufer"?

Hi OM,

Concrete is conductive and with the large surface area presents quite
an electrode - the Ufer ground. Providing for a connection to its
metal interior insures you have access to this characteristic (and
with the rebar welded, insures that there will be no exploding
concrete at the J-Bolts due to current crowding if/when lightning
strikes).

Hi Richard
Lightning and the practicalities (no J-bolts, tower leg extension into the
concrete, holding the damn thing still during the pour) pretty much require
all the metal to be welded together. Then I'll put several good rods around
the base a few feet out.
I've seen lightning strike concrete; blew a 3 foot hole.
