Top Banders,
Spent a while under the hot tropical sun getting the far end of Peter, 9V1PC's
inverted L up into a tree in the jungle behind his new house. The last attempt
involved black spitting cobra's which seem to think the territory is theirs,
but this time we were firing lead weights from a slingshot a safer distance
from the big trees and the dense undergrowth. (Several lead balls broke free
but no reports of casualties the other side of the forest so far).
Long story short, it is fed on the roof of his three storey house, goes up
just over ten metres and out about 33 metres and loads well. Peter has a new
amp with two 3-500Z's so 9V will be QRV now from his QTH on 160m. The only
catch is Peter has gotten used to sleeping late in the morning, so if you need
his home number for a sked, just drop me an email and I am sure you can wake
him up. The 9V1GO antenna for 160m is down, the new one at YB5/9V1GO is up so
the new 'GO about 35 miles south of Singapore maybe will cause a bit of QRM but
not a problem for Peter I think.
73 and hope to work you all from Batam Island OC075. In the meantime, don't
hesitate to ask for the phone number of Peter 'PC as he has a great sense off
humour.
