Good Luck George....I was the 160 op with the 1969 operation and worked
several hundred on TB with a wire suspended above the water on the
cliffs protruding across Lulu Bay. I had hopes of hanging slopers from
the lighthouse on top of the hill but getting the equipment and
generator up there was not supported by the team. There is a ladder
inside to do maintenance on the acetylene lights many years ago but I
understand this was shut down and the entrance is most likely sealed.
But a drone carrying a light filament line over the top of the
lighthouse could provide a means of hauling up a suitable roop to put up
a Delta loop which might be a real killer corner fed on 160. It would
take 3000 feet of coax to get to the operating positions unless split
sites are planned for. If a vertical is planned for lower down were
most of the stations are set up, remember there was, and still is a rail
system that was used to carry guano for shipment, and that steel if
contiguous, might be part of a suitable artificial ground system.
Beverages are great but remember during the set up the sharp cactus will
pierce every shoe and pants so West Texas boots are the answer to avoid
some real painful experience.

Topbanders,
Rest assured that there will be a substantial 160 m operation from
KP1. I am planning and building the low band antennas and gear right now.
We will be releasing more details later.

Thanks to you and to all who replied privately.
I didn't doubt that they would be on 160, I was just looking for more
information about this event. I didn't realize who this was. :-)

The KP5 operation had almost 2000 160 meter contacts, so we can be
sure
they will have a big presence on the low bands, including 160!

I couldn't find a thing there about 160 (or any other band). Did I
miss
something?
