Operator List: N2BIM & K2BM

Equipment Description:

    Icom IC-765; Ten-Tec Titan; TH6DXX @ 71';
    40/80 Dipole @ 70'; 500' NE Beverage; No 160 Antennas


We set up a 2nd station, with the intention of working mults and
the low bands, on the dipole, while the main station used the TH6.
But we had so many RFI problems, we gave up on the idea.
The 2nd station computer suffered sever RFI problems, and that
station became practically useless overall.  Also, Warren smoked
his antenna tuner trying to tune the dipole on 15 meters.  Ah,
the smell of burned radio parts is so exhilarating!  He says he
can fix it. 

We put up a 500' beverage, and it worked well, but slightly de tuned
the 765 on 80 meters, so we will need to isolate it for future efforts.
We will also need more antennas if we do this again.  But, our intent was
to make points for FRC, and that's what we did!

We'll never win anything, but we're having fun doing it!
