Unless Bill is a hermit, how about asking another amateur radio operator in the area to help out; or a next door neighbor? Unless I am living in a different world of amateur radio, I have never had a problem finding another "ham" to help me when needed; and I have helped out many other amateurs since I have been in the hobby since 1961. My two cents worth. Dick, K8ZTT On Sunday, February 25, 2018, 10:10:45 AM MST, Alan <n...@sonic.net> wrote: Or go to Walmart and buy a $30 hand truck.
