I am mostly organized. I just have to do a few things.
I went to Home Depot last night and bought two lengths of 1" PVC and a can of fluorescent orange paint. I am going to make new end supports for the MFJ-1980 LP. I was using driveway markers, like two of these:
But, believe it or not, someone helped themselves to one end and I found that end of the wire touching the ground. I highly doubt that anyone will want a piece of PVC pipe painted neon orange. But I guess you never know!
I still have to figure out a carrying bag option for my Jackite stand. I have all day tomorrow as I'm taking the day off from work. Not because of Field Day, but I need new brakes on the Jeep before our yearly sojourn to Lake George, which is coming up soon. I'll be dropping my car off at my mechanic's place tonight and hopefully it will be done by tomorrow evening. Marianne suggested I take an Uber to work and back and I told her that would probably cost more than what I would earn for the day if I were there!
I'll borrow my daughter Cara's car to get the grocery shopping done; and if I can't find anything suitable in the house to use for carrying the stand, a quick trip to Dick's Sporting Goods for a sleeping bag storage bag should do the trick.
Other than that, i just need to bring everything together so I can load it into the Jeep on Saturday morning.

I use an old folding camp chair bag to carry poles in. They are pretty much useless for anything else when the cheap chairs break/fall apart.
ReplyDeleteJohn, Great suggestion!!!!! Thanks for the tip - we may have one or two in the rec room closet.
