last summer i built an inverted V for 80 through 10
I made the traps out of coax and used superflex for
the wire, very easy to store and put up, very cheap
to make and will handle (if i remember correctly)
500 watts. with a push up, or used military sectional
mast you would be on the air in no time at minimal
weight, hassle and expense. i can send details if
you are interested.

We already have ski bags full of skis! I like the idea of a super-tiny wire
beam . . . it'll fit into the luggage very nicely, and should be easy to
install. I don't think I'm going to be able to erect any kind of mast, and
although the management is pleased to allow operation, I think wires will be
more visibly acceptable in this case. That said, I have also received
several requests for a posting if I come up with a nice 20/15/10 triband
wire solution. None yet, though. I do appreciate all the positive comments
on the C3 family. I have purchased and installed one for a friend. It's a
fantastic product for the right application. Oh, one more thing . . . I'm
really interested in the design and construction aspects of this project.
It'll be fun! And, the plan is to do it all well ahead of time here in the
states, and test out ev!
>erything at home, and pack it all for instant assembly in EU. Thanks to all
for the suggestions. Please send more if you have 'em.
