G'day
Waved goodbye to Charlie VK9XG this morning, who will arrive on Christmas
Island today (Monday 27 Oct) and stay for 13 days.
Charlie's main priorities will be the low bands on CW (particularly 160 and
80m) plus some digital modes on the HF bands. Antenna plans for 160 are
sophisticated, with a crane-supported inverted vee dipole at 50 metres high
and a Force 12 60' vertical. Phased pennants will be used on receive for
North America, with a KD9SV 160/80m tuned preamp.
On-line log facilities have been kindly provided by Bernd DF3CB and logs
will be uploaded regularly to the VK9XG web-site at: www.df3cb.com/vk9xg/
Charlie's aim is to provide VK9X as a new country to as many topbanders as
possible and he requests those who have worked it before on 160 to give a
clear run to those who haven't.
Good hunting, blokes!

Steve, VK6VZ
