Height Control & TV Antennas

[Curt Sprenger]

Ernie, Norwalk is about 15 miles from my home. You will go right past my home on your way to Norwalk. That's assuming you will be traveling the 91 fwy west. I'm between the Wier Canyon/Yorba Linda Blvd and Imperial Hwy exits off the 91. I have Jury Duty tomorrow and hopefully no more days. I get a summons to show up for Jury Duty every 13 months. I don't know what Ed told you about the 91 fwy. It's extremely slow heading west in the am and east in the pm.

Curt, I'm going to be in Norwalk tomorrow. Is that close to your place?  Will be putting flooring in Ed and Penny Arnold's coach.

Check with Stephen if you are in the market for one.

Well, DT is here now and my best option was . . . a new Mini-Mate. It is directional and self-contained; the remote is now wireless and I was able to use the existing cables. http://www.antennac raft.net/ HDView360. html http://www.solidsig nal.com/prod_ display.asp? prod=HDMS9100 http://www.starkele ctronic.com/ 5ms750.htm Bob Griesel '84 FC31 WLII WA --- In WanderlodgeForum@ yahoogroups. com, Page Britt wrote: > > Greetings One & All, > > Yesterday I installed a new left rear height control valve.
