Sandy...when you're rambling around the hills of East Tennessee in the Mighty Valdez keep an eye peeled for "antenna farms". You know...big towers with stacked triband beams & who knows what else. Pull in! The vast majority of hams are very friendly sorts & more than eager to show off their shacks. Presto!...you may have just found your Elmer! Odds are it'll be a person who'd be more than fascinated with your aggregation of boatanchors. Sandy...a guy like you is someone who'd be a great addition to the ham community...a wide range of interests, a friendly, loquacious sort. A prototypical "ragchewer". And...by the way...soldering up a PL-259 to RG-8 coax is easy-breezy...a big ol' fashioned soldering iron works wonders.
