Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-30

If I could, I'd invite you guys and see just how much this wouldn't work.
My DX spot is on the other side of the road.. I can't run coax, cable,
antenna, nothing across Tiger Freeway, which essentially runs the entire
length of the town, no way around it and you won't be able to dig anything
in the ground till may or so, if that.

(Kind of an ironic name for a road, considering where I live)

I'm going to look into some kind of heated tent idea.
