First tower was completed last spring and consists of a Bencher Skyhawk (
several posts concerning this antenna and its strengths and weakness) and
a Cushcraft XM240. Also, on this tower is inverted V for 80 and 160...
Now for the update... The M2 80M-1 that had two boxes of parts delivered to
Caracas, Venezuela have now arrived on North Caicos... The M2 6M beam ( 7
element I think) will also be going up. A short ( 40 ft) second tower of
Rohn 25G will support the Force 12 C-3 for the multiplier station...
Also, the WX0B 2 radio switch system will finally be installed... along
with a RTTY station.
So goes it in the tropics... K4CN and K4ISV will have the duty of making
these changes along with watching the topless ladies on the beach. What a
job.......
73 Bud K4ISV
P.S. Most contest weekends are full for this station through next spring
EXCEPT THE CQWW CW 1999. Does this tell us anything about our operating
preference?
