I have absolutely no doubt it'll sound better but there's no way I'm going back up on that roof. Too many memories!

When I first had the FM antenna installed, I asked the guy who did it what sort of other work he did. I should have guessed by his bill that he had done a lot of global government contract work. Really.

Later I decided that I must install a low loss balun that I got specially built by an electronics whiz so this time it was me climbing the ladder.

Then I decided I absolutely must have low loss RG-11 cable for the ultimate cable connection. Back up the ladder. This stuff is about as flexible as #10 gauge rebar. Bending and routing it through the attic and into the basement was nearly impossible and also required drilling through a concrete wall to make the run as short as possible. I had to cut through and replace some nice wood paneling not to mention tearing out all the wiring the original contractor did.

I'm really obsessive compulsive. Please don't make me do it, Lummy!
