@ Wilby,

side note. i am at the lake and setting up a REAC with coax cable, spark plug, big cap and a battery. i damaged my hand pretty good yesterday fighting with a boat lift so i may not get to climb the pole to put up the coax today. i will keep you guys up to date on it.

This will be interresting, I look forward to your results.

Sorry to hear you hurt your hand Wilby, hope it is not too bad and it's back to normal soon.
