In Visalia

The long road from home QTH wound through Anaheim.  I had to stop in southern California to see my original Elmer Art, WA6SLI.  His ailing health was the main concern.  While in the area, I went to Ham Radio Outlet and saw they had a GAP mono-band antenna for 20 meters.

I already had a jig to mount a vertical off the RV, so I thought, why not!

A couple days later I pull into Visalia, arrive at campground.  Begin the simple process of putting it up.  Except.  The antenna was missing a key part -- the bloody GAP insulator.  Without it, it doesn't work.  

HRO will make it right, but later.  Not for this trip.  Anyway, back to the 10 meter Moonraker then.

Weather is perfect, camp site is perfect, and soon I'll be settled.  Next thing to do is get the Elecraft K3 out and start listening.

It is and has been a great trip so far, 20m antenna FUBAR not withstanding. Hihi.
