Default New long wire

While the gutterings were being replaced I managed to take advantage of the
scaffolding to erect a new long wire for receiving with my restored
ex-military sets. RA17L + 2 AR88's ( The AR88LF is working, The D is being
restored )
I was able to suspend the antenna from the tall chimney on the adjacent
block and north-south to my chimney then down to the backyard shack,
considering I am aged 71 I am quite pleased with myself and pulling in some
good signals throughout the HF Band.

As the old Navy axiom used to go, "Bigger and higher is better."

Well done.
