It's been quite some time since I last built an antenna, and been a very long time since I sat down patiently putting something together.
As I sit here in my chair, in the middle of the freakin' desert in Iraq, I came to notice that while building this wi-fi antenna for our network, I'm actually taking my time building it. I've never really taken my time before, it was always a rush to put an antenna together and get the thing in the air, hoping it will work the first time. I'm finding that I actually like taking my time building something, and enjoying the process, and it is quite relaxing, believe it or not. Where-as before I was in a hurry for no reason and getting all mad at the thing didn't work or when something didn't fit right. I'm only 25, but I rather enjoy this hobby of 13 years and now I think I finally realized what it was to take time to build something, put some quality effort it, and enjoy the fruits of my labor. Sure it may take a little longer, or does it because now it'll most likely work the first time? ~Benjamin, KB9LFZ
