Woke up to mist and cooler temperatures this morning. The mist stayed with us all day making it quite damp feeling. The temperature managed to climb to 17°C. Lyn settled into sewing after breakfast and I decided to do some banking and get everything up to date.
After lunch Lyn headed over to the craft group meeting, there were 5 people there, 4 of them Canadian. While Lyn was over there it was time to put up another antenna. One of my recent purchases was an adapter for an adapter I already had! These two adapters are about the size of a USB memory stick and cost about $75 for both of them. When used as a ham radio receiver they provide performance that would have cost 1,000 of dollars a few years ago. The antenna was bought a few years ago when we first got the trailer, but hasn’t been used recently. I put the antenna together then headed up to the roof to install. This part of the activity always leads to interest from other RV’ers. The guy next door is convinced Star Wars has become a reality. With the antenna in place it was time to start “playing radios” again
Unfortunately an antennas worst enemy is lightning; guess what, thunderstorms in the forecast tomorrow.
