No, no WARC, contesting bands only, mostly CW and RTTY.

If you are NOT interested in the WARC bands at all, then this will be a killer
one tower, 3-antenna set up.
I'd like to see a bazooka on 80 also...

All,
After many long months of thinking, reading, and exchanging countless emails
with other hams, I am about to pull the trigger and order tons of gear.
Literally. Naturally, I am a bit nervous, so I final sanity check with the
reflector makes sense. So, here we go, shoot holes in my plan or give it the
nod:
1. AN Wireless tower, 90', heavy duty, rated at 36 sq.ft
2. M2 40M4LLDD at 90'
3. 2 x KT36XA at 100' and 60'
4. Prosistel PST61D + Green Heron to rotate the 40m beam and the upper
tribander
5. K0XG ring rotator + Green Heron for the lower tribander
6. W3NQN bandpass filters sandwitched between 2 SO2R switches to provide SO2R
filetring
7. BIP/BOP stack controller for the KT36XA tribanders
8. SO2R switch for all antennas
9. On 80m, Comtek dipole 4sqr as in http://www.comteksystems.com/4square6.html
<http://www.comteksystems.com/4square6.html>
10. On 160m, shunt feed the 90' tower
11. RX antennas- 2 two-way beverages
The overall objective is to build a decent single-tower SO2R station in VE3,
about 100 miles north of Toronto. Due to frequent freezing rain showers + gusty
winds, I am very concerned aboout physical strength of the set-up.
So, go or no go?
