No 75 meter ham stiks BUT a K2CZ.com Web Site

I checked my stock of Ham sticks and do not have an 80 meter ham stick to test on. I will be ordering one real soon so that I can test it on my mobile installation.

I have edited all these blogs and assembled them into an article format on my web site (one of my web sites) k2cz.com I will be adding photographs to the web site, to illustrate the k2cz ham radio mobile installation. The web site puts together all the separate blogs into one readable 6000 word article. Whats the gig? I am going to edit the first part, the first blog I wrote to be a little shorter and offer it for publication in the local Ham radio club news letters and offer those that are interested the delight of reading the remaining 5500 words that are on the web site.

One of the big advantages to the web site is that I have selected reading that can be purchased via Amazon.com from a link off my web site. This means that a reader of my web site will be able to purchase ARRL books discounted from list original price. Enabling readers to get a deal off ARRL books is a lofty aspiration.

Relax and enjoy the heat

As you relax and enjoy the heat for the first week or so, I monitored all joints to make sure that there were no leaks, and there were not any. So since then we have enjoyed the comfort of gas heat without the expense of electricity. The neighbor wanted to put in natural gas, but remember the cost of natural gas is less than that of propane, but there are more therms of heat per unit of propane , so make sure that you bring that into account when figuring out the cost fo propane verses naturals gas. The nice part of the Utica Boiler and most propane boilers is that they are easy to convert over to the other fuel if you should wish to. (In some cases it is just a nozzle, in other cases you need to replace the burners...the nozzle is built in to the burners.) This set of blogs is about to come to an end now. In a few weeks, we will edit and add photos and move this blog in an article format to Install Propane Heat and later at The Home Project Book , in a few weeks not right now.

Fisinsh wiring and call Gas Guy

OK you have been cycling the circulation pump on and off and checking / repairing leaks. Expect some of these leaks to come from the solder joints you made and many less to come from the galvanized pipe. Now that your leaks are done, finish wiring up the system and install that emergency cut off. Mine is installed about 10 feet way from the burner at the entrance to the boiler /utility room. Now all the wiring is done, there is time to call the propane guy. I elected to pay the propane company to come in and install the tank, run the pipe underground from the tank to the house and make sure that the gas connections from the outside of the house to the boiler were ok. I dug the hole from where I thought the tank would be to the place that the gas entered the house. I dug about 6 or 8 inches deep, and was afraid that that wasnt deep enough but the Gas Guy gave the thumbs up on the trench depth. OK so I paid him to do this but he had it all there and he was only charging me a couple of bucks an hour to check out the "high risk" section. He looked at the stuff I did, tightened up a few of the joints, and said - "You did a good job" Gas Guy is a man of few words. He didnt like his picture being taken, but he got a crane to set the tank and did all the work for about an hours charge. I did pay extra for the delivery of the tank and the setting of the pipe, but anything that he did "for me" was less than an hour. Then he turned the gas on n and said "ok turn it on" which kind of supprised me. I tuned the boiler on and it worked! I had pretested the thermostas and kknew they would work. So we waited for the boiler to come up to temperature...he checked the flame and that looked ok. (There is a plexiglass viewer that you can observe the flame from and reset it using an adjustment if need be, but it looked ok too Gas Guy.)

Boscov's Mens Room

In all my public restroom explorations, I am totally convinced convinced that the workers at Boscov's use restrooms other than those reserved for the common folks, like the customers, like paying customers. The doors don't close there is graffiti on the walls and some time if you are feeling lucky, there some TP on the rolls. Many years ago, the New York City transit system used Incandescent light bulbs, but they kept getting stolen . People would unscrew them and take them home, NYC quickly switched to bulbs that had reversed threads on them. The thievery stopped as quickly as it began. What going on in Boscov's, are the low life scum coming in off the streets and stealing the TP or is it just running out and not being replaced. AND while we are on the subject of ambiance, who is the brainchild of the stall decorating system. On first look they all look like the public bus station crappers, filthy and dirty. but the true artist in me realized that one stall is dedicated to the male and female anatomy drawing class at at Broome Tech,the next cube is dedicated to joemama jokes and the third stall is specifically for setting up same sex rendezvous. Don't toe tap at Boscov's. I'm not saying that the janitor does a poor job here but it is as clean as he or she can make it the once a week that he cleans it. I hope that the cleaning person uses Lysol after, or before they do the cleaning thing there. BTW, if you go over to Lysol you can print oout a coupomn worth $5.00 on your next purchases of Lysol Product, but hurry, it expires soon.

i m am saying that for a store that gets beau coupe tax abatement from the city, the toilets could use a gallon of paint, the heat turned on and maybe a little redecorating. These toilets are the pits. They get a rating of 1 LID COVER only because the poor slob that has to clean them does the best he can. and except for the stall that the FECALARTIST redid in early shit stain, I am not afraid to get too many crabs from taking a whiz there. These are dirty restrooms. Potentially, Broome County's dirties public restroom facility in the circle that I travel in.

Leak Test - need

I will add to this post later but I wan the cold water through the piping for several days, cycling on and off looking for leaks. Some of the leaks...the gross leaks showed up right away. After fixing them, I watched fro fine leaks...little drips that cause big puddles after weeks of little drops . I never found any of them, and so I thought it was safe to got on to the next phase
