Comments:
Big fun in the sun in Doha, Qatar. Juma, A71EM, suggested a multi-single about
two weeks ahead of the contest. He had been promising Ali, A71BX, they would
multi-op together and invited me and Hank KI4MF to join them. His next words
were we don't have a working 80 or 160 antenna. So we put up an Alpha Delta
sloper on his fixed tower a week before the contest and got it working. Too
much noise made us go the whole 9 yards and put up a short beverage for
Europe/NA. Juma set up two stations so we could make faster band changes. He
has a small tower on the house and a small crankup next to it, each with a
tribander, one with the sloper and one with a rotary dipole for 40. The night
before the contest we finished the beverage and began to cut and solder coaxial
stub filters for the amplifier outputs which also went through full-power
matchboxes, providing enough station isolation to work multipliers on the
second station. Juma insisted we take time out for lunch each day, and we
stopped a bit before the end (3AM start and finish). Good fun all around, and
we even had some 10m condx!
For the group,
Dave K5GN in A7
