When we woke up this morning, we were ‘freezing’!\u00a0 The temperature in our bedroom was 72F, although the thermostat was set to 79F.\u00a0 Must have something to do with running the air conditioner in ‘dehumidifier’ mode.\u00a0 The musty smell from yesterday was gone, so we returned the mode back to ‘normal’.<\/p>\n

We had a heavy rain last night and everything was wet first thing this morning.\u00a0 Things dried off fairly quickly, but the humidity remained higher than normal all day.<\/p>\n

We were able to work on the antenna switch connections the whole day today.<\/p>\n

\"Jim<\/a>

Jim silver-solders all the small parts that we assembled the previous days in the shop. Here he is working on the lower of the two cross-over pipe that make up the 300 ohm transmission line.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Jim<\/a>

Jim solders the upper pipe now that it is aligned properly in its final position. Three aluminum poles with insulators on top and insulator spacers between the pipes make the transmission line rigid.\u00a0 These cross-over lines take a lot longer to fabricate and assemble than the straight runs<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Now<\/a>

Now that the cross-over line is finished, the lower straight transmission line is done. If it would have been done first, it would have only been an obstruction while building the cross-over line. [Does it look like the beginning of some kind of roller coaster ride? — just wait til all the connections are done!]\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Paul, Joel, Jim and Mike are in this photo.<\/p><\/div>\n
