September in the Soo. The Leitch was brand new (just a year or 2 old,) when I lived in the Soo. Depending on the wind direction, the days quickly jump back and forth between hot and cold, tending ever colder. It must be nice having a house to put up antennas at. I'm in a first floor apt on an alley, and 20 feet from heavy power-lines. Fortunately there's a park 2 blocks away, and a 30 minute drive takes me up to 9,100 feet on the side of the mountain.
This autumn has been abnormally warm, which is making all of the locals nervous that we will pay for it in January. The downside of the warm weather is it has pushed the fall colors back quite a bit, almost three weeks later than normal now. I don't have a very big lot but I am trying to make the best of it, lol. I have an antenna for the AIS station, antenna for the Broadcastify feed, another antenna for marine traffic to receive satellite NAV info. 11' vhf/uhf vertical and now a 40-6 Off center fed dipole. Technically, I do still have my 40m EFHW up but not using it and will likely pull it down before winter hits.
@@codyandargo906, these days I'd be more worried about it being mild all winter. I'm liking 'normal' more and more these days, even if it's brutal. That sounds like a decent antenna setup to me. The only problem with horizontal dipoles is if they are high and in the clear they are quite directional and so you need 2 of them to decently cover N/S and E/W, a situation where one lower antenna can perform a bit better for random directions and distances. I assume you are at the bottom of the hill since you said you were in an old house, and people didn't used to build up on top of the hill because of the wind off the lake. That might make communication to the south more difficult. But it beats a 1st floor apartment on an alley staring up at a power line, and apartment where no outside antennas are allowed.
I have seen somewhere where the mid section of the ship was expanded. Port and starboard in the cargo bay to raise the capacity of the ship, which made it too wide for the smaller lock.
They call her "The little bank building that floats!"
Very fitting!
That boat looks like it was designed by a government committee. The floating condo.
Or by engineers who never communicate between departments.
@@codyandargo906, software vs hardware. :)
