Hello, Megan. It's been a beautiful day. Folks on the Net may remember that I've been working on this 2-meter tape measure yagi and taking it apart and putting it back together again. And you know, as far as physical craftsmanship goes, I've got it nailed. It's a thing of beauty. As far as an RF device, it's not such a thing of beauty. And I bought a NanoVNA, which I bashed my head against for a week before I kind of figured it out. And I was finally able to test the SWR, and it's like a 5. So I'm trying to figure out what to change next. I don't know. The hairpin match may be too long. Electronics is not my native language, so I'm really just kind of messing around with little bits of tape measure and PVC pipe and glue and solder and all that stuff. But anyway, it's kind of interesting and kind of frustrating. Definitely not my native language. So if there are any antenna gurus out there in the world, send me a message. Let me know what I'm doing wrong. Other than that, it's just a beautiful, beautiful, cool night, and I'm enjoying the weather. So back to the net. KK7ZRY.
