			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The morning of the last <a href="http://www.ncjweb.com/naqprules.php" target="_blank">NAQP (North American QSO Party)</a> I put up an 80 meter inverted vee using an <a href="http://www.alphadeltacom.com/pg11.html" target="_blank">Alpha Delta Delta C center insulator</a> hoisted 50 feet up a tree in my backyard. Seeing as how successful my results were on 80 meter, I added a 40 meter vee about 8 feet below it. The <a href="http://www.freewebs.com/hypower/balun.html#bl10-160-5kw" target="_blank">balun of choice</a> was from <a href="http://www.angelfire.com/electronic/hypower/" target="_blank">Hy-Power Antenna company</a>. KU3X, Barry the owner happens to be a fellow club member of <a href="http://www.dlarc.org/" target="_blank">DLARC</a> and offered a bunch of information on antenna design.</p>
<p>Since I now have 3 antennas in the backyard and only 1 cable running to the house, running outside in the rain or snow to flip antennas got old quick. Hence my recent purchase from a ham on <a href="http://qth.com/" target="_blank">QTH.com</a>. I was lucky enough to acquire a used <a href="http://ameritron.com/Product.php?productid=RCS-8V" target="_blank">Ameritron RCS-8V</a>, 5 antenna remote switch for a very discounted price. I ended up using 100 feet of CAT5 cable as a temporary run between the control box and relay box outside. When my permanent cable arrives next week, the plan is to bury it and a run of RG8U coax out to the  relay box. Ultimately a 40 meter delta loop will also makes it way to this switch as well as a 40/80/160 meter off-center dipole around 60-70 feet.<br />

For now I can switch between to 2 vee&#8217;s and vertical from the laziness of my own chair.</p>
