First post, new QTH plans

My station shut down a little after 0200 May 7th UTC (2100 May 6th CDT) so that it could be dismantled and moved to the new QTH. I'm currently planning where to put antennas and how to get the coax at to them at the new QTH. I was using a MFJ window feed through panel to bring the coax and station ground in the shack (spare bedroom) at the old QTH. This will not work at the new QTH... The shack in the new QTH is the only room in the house that has a crank open window, making the MFJ panel unusable. I guess I'm going to have to do something permanent with a proper utility box outside and a custom made coax panel and electrical box on the inside. This is for the best as I was going to do a permanent solution at some point in the future anyways.

The VHF Yagi and VHF/UHF ground plane are going up on a rotator now at the new QTH. At the old QTH the Yagi was permanently pointed at the NOARC repeater in Crestview (W4AAZ 147.360) that is used for the nightly area VHF traffic net. Having the Yagi on a rotator should let me hit repeaters in Fort Walton Beach, Niceville, Crestview, and Panama City and maybe even Milton, Pensacola, and parts of Southern Alabama. I also have to figure out how I'm going to feed, route, and suspend an 80 meter full wave loop that I am going to use for HF.

I'm going to take this week and the next to gather materials and plan everything and I hope to get on the air again by May 25/26.
