Hello everyone,
Been reading the board for a little while and have enjoyed it. Some of the insight provided has helped me to decide to take the plunge myself. Actually, I've been considering the possibility for well over 20 years, but, finally, decided to take the leap. Ordered the ChezRadio Procaster on the 20th of Jan. Received it a couple of days ago. Since that time, I've been in the process of getting other bits and pieces delivered (ground rod and the like). Just called the utility companies today, to get the ground utilities marked and will be starting installation once the ground is sufficiently thawed enough that I am able to get the ground rod in place.
The plan is to mount the Procaster, on a 5 foot mast, located at the peak of an unattached 1 story garage. I'm hoping for a decent range, but time will tell the tale there.
It is always interesting to read boards like this, as I get a bit nostalgic reading about some of the companies I used to work with (i.e., LPB and the like) back in the day. Hope to be able to contribute some as time goes on, but just wanted to take a moment to say hello and start a conversation.
BTW, I had selected the WIMP call letters, before reading the post on this board about them. Found out they were available on the RecNet site.
All the best,
Rich
