Hey, Gene, I knew you'd know what it is! :-) I used to have a better one 
60 feet up in a tree. But a few years ago the tree tried to kill my 
house and only narrowly missed. So the tree had to go. I haven't had 
time to put up another until now.  This one's only up about 25 feet. 
I've had quick digital mode contacts with Uraguay, Argentina, Japan and 
Asiatic Russia, so I guess it works reasonably well. Hopefully I will 
not attract the attention of either regulatory agency mentioned previously.

No snow here, but it's very cold for Seattle--high of 32 today, lows 
down to 17 in the suburbs tonight. I will attempt to take a picture of 
the antenna with something on-topic when things warm up.
