Colin, I’m ashamed to admit it—but after briefly installing the VACTROLS, I took down the flag antenna—and planned to put up a new and improved version with CAT 5 burial cable for control. That was months ago—and I’ve had no break in my hectic work and travel schedule to do any hobby projects. Hoping for some time this summer before the fall DX season starts again.
Thank you so much for your help—wish I had better news.
