    Hey Jason - YES! Got it up - finally. :-) Since the weather
    didn't cooperate earlier, it was after our grandson was here
    for the summer - so - I have his handprint, the other grandson's
    print, mine and my wife's! :-)

    Turns out the X30A Diamond antenna is about 33' in the air. I'm
    able to check in to a net in Memphis every night as if it were
    the 'local' repeater! I'm also hitting Jonesboro PRETTY good.

    I'm enjoying it. :-)
