Just a couple of things - then off to bed to get some more rest. This sinus infection is not only kicking my butt; the weather isn't helping either. High 90s all week - over 100 on Friday and Saturday. I've often heard it said that Summer colds are the worst; but this is ridiculous!
I saw this site mentioned on QRP-L by N0SA, who was promoting his own Website. Nothing wrong with that in my book!

Look at the keys, look at the keys! Every time I turn around, there's another gosh-darned reason to be buying lottery tickets!
Secondly, in my quest to KISS for FOBB (and believe me, I NEED to keep it simple!) I ran across this at the NJQRP Website.

PFR-3A with a wire cut for 67 feet and a 33 foot long counterpoise. I'll be up and running in no time. And switching back and forth between 20 and 40 Meters should be relatively painless. I can use the Black Widow crappie pole to get the wire to go up straight for 20 feet and then run the rest over to a tree limb - Inverted L !! If my experience at Lake George was any indication, and knowing Cotton Street Park as I do, I should be antenna ready in about 10 minutes or so. Of course, that will provide Murphy with enough time to make sure other things go wrong!

Hi Larry, I hope you will soon recover from the sinus infection. And what about the end fed antenna: I think it's the best there is in the category simple antennas. I like simple antennas, and I am very happy with my end fed for 40-20 and 10 meter. This morning I worked LU7KAT on 40 meter. Yes! 11.181 km. 73 Paul
