A purist would cringe....

Ahhhh, whaddya they know? You made a horizontal into a vertical and saved a lot of bucks. Bob Grove (of Monitoring Times) has been selling converted TV antennas for years.  

I can believe them not knowing who "Skip" is. Last night amid all the storm traffic I couldn't help but again marvel at so many so-called professionals who began talking before keying the mic, and had to repeat themselves, and more than once (and it's in general, not in excited moments).

Bob Groove has been a long favorite of mine in MT. Sounds like you're in the middle or west end of the state. I live 20 miles north of Knoxville but can pick up Cumberland County real easy. I can also pick up UT Hospital's chopper on control frequency returning from London/Corbin. The back of my property where I should have built would have given me clear line of sight 7 state capabilities.
