Any Ham Radio Operators Here

Update #2: Recent posts bring the number of licensed hams checking in on this thread to 26. Power supply for the transceiver arrived safely...waiting for a chance to bring it up slowly & take some voltage measurements. I'm continuing to scratch my head over what type of antenna to erect...looks like my lot dimensions and the way my house is situated on it may not allow a G5RV...so I'm thinking some sort of off-center fed dipole could be a temporary solution. I know it would be far from optimum... just need something up in the air before winter!
