Re: Alpha Anxiety
I would return for a full refund.? Who knows what else is wrong. I think they deserved a second chance but not a third.? Of course I have nothing invested, but that is what I would do.? Good luck

Re: Happy June Solstice
Yes, in the Northern Hemisphere this point in the annual solar cycle is referred as the summer solstice and the first day of summer. However, this is a northern-centric bias. Apologies to Shakespeare

Re: Happy June Solstice
In our present definition of seasons, this is the first day of summer.? In a few hours, we will have the shortest night of the year.? Long time ago, it would have been called "Mid-Summer's Night".?

Re: Happy June Solstice
Howard, thanks for this note. It's exciting. Love these long daylight days. I've read we're coming up on a "lunastice" soon. Apparent motion of lunar declination stops and reverses? 18.6 year cycle?

Re: I¡¯m doing a little survey of people that have rotatable antennas.
Ok, that narrows it somewhat. I have 3 or 4 unpainted Ed Fong J poles. I'll pick one and try it. Can you send a picture of the spray cans you think you used?

Re: I¡¯m doing a little survey of people that have rotatable antennas.
It was about 4-5 yrs ago. I checked in my supply cabinet and I have both Krylon and Rust-Oleum. Best guess is Krylon gray primer. I queried the antenna but go no response :>) 73 Howard N6POM

Re: I¡¯m doing a little survey of people that have rotatable antennas.
Hi Cliff, As you say it depends on what you are using the paint on. I have an Ed Fong (TJB-1) contained inside a piece of PVC pipe. It was working great until I painted it with a Rust-Oleum spray to
