Was someone on here looking for W7IVX? He is a silent key. It was
approximately in the late 1980's that he passed away. He lived in or
near Coos Bay, Oregon, and had a big signal on 75 meters.

Message-ID: <199602021932.JAA24878 at hookomo.aloha.net>
My antenna tower zone variance request and use permit had
been held up for 6 months by the Kauai County Planning
Commission chairman and one of the island Deputy
District Attorneys. Had lots of help from ARRl volunteer
attorney from Maui, who was writing letters and visiting
Kauai and Board of Health Director of the state of Hawaii
in Honolulu, as one of my neighbors had raised the issue
of electromagnetic radiation hazards probable from my
High Power 1.5 kW station just over the fence from his
kids and pet's play yard! So we were trying to clear
two hurdles: the visual impact issue and the radiation
hazard issue. All was at a standstill until September 17th,
1992, when Huriccane Iniki wiped out almost everything
here on the island, including all public communications and
power; both were out for over a month, over the entire island!
However, my HF gear came thru just fine, as did about 25 feet
or so of my antenna support. My big 4-el quad was almost
totaly demolished, except for the driven element, the matching
xfrmr at the feed point and the coax. One day after Iniki, I got
a neighbor who had a generator going (he was working for
an on-site construction company that used generators at
remot construction projects--generators soon became more
valuable on this island than just about everything else, except
perhaps food)., to allow me to run a long extension to his generator
and get power to my rig. We thru the driven element of the quad after
untangling it from among the mess of the rest of the boom and quad
elements, up over the top of my "tower". There, it formed a very
useful 20 meter band horizontal loop. With that I easily got into
contact with the 14268 UN emergency net links in California and
Washington. Spent the next two or three weeks sending traffic of all
sorts off island, took practically no traffic in, as there was actually
no way to distribute it. But many, many residents, and the Waimea
hospital used my station for hearlth, welfare, and supplies request
to the mainland, Canada, Japan, and Europe, all relayed via the US mainland
of course.
At the very first post-Iniki meeting of the Planning Commision, my zoneing
variance and use permits were granted with no discussion of any
of the negative issues raised by my neighbors; they had been withdrawn!
I was even awarded some bottles of Jack Daniels by my neighbors!
My compromises I had offored months before were accepted, and now
my neighbors and I get along just fine. They seem secure in knowing that
emergency communications will probably be available right next door
next time they will be needed. I now have my own 5kW Honda
generator; which reminds my, I better go start it up and let it run for
awhile, also check the fuel and oil levels, we never know when a
good storm may sweep across Kauai again, tho hurricane "season"
is over for now, still, very strong winter low fronts are crosing the
Pacific just
to our North, wouldn't take too much for one of them to divert South a
bit to hit our 22N latitude. Pays to be ready out here.

Message-ID: <199602022034.NAA08143 at usr2.primenet.com>
Bill, W0ZV, asked me to post a description of my antenna farm that appeared
on the cover of CQ Magazine's Feb issue.
I am flattered that CQ published it!
I live 30 miles Northeast of downtown Phoenix on 2 1/2 acres of desert land.
If any of you have heard of the Boulders resort, I am just 3 miles from it.
The picture is looking toward the Southwest. There are 4 towers, 3 are 100
feet tall and 1 is a 50 ft. crankup.
The front tall tower (right) has 4/4/4/4 on 15 meters (20,52,84 and 116
ft.). The bottom 3 are fixed EU. At 102 ft is a 2 el Force 12 80m beam.
There is an 11 el 6m beam on a Tic rotating ring at 60 ft.
The 2nd tower (left front) has 4/4/4/4 on 10m (20,44,68,92 ft.) all fixed on
Asia. There is a 6 el 20 at 60 feet on a Tic rotating ring and another 6 el
20 at 102ft. A 3 el KLM 30m beam rests on the mast at 118 ft.
The 3rd tall tower (center) has a 4 el 40m M2 at 102 ft. and 7/7/7/7 on 10m
(20,52,84,116 ft)..with the bottom 3 fixed on EU. There is also 6/6 KLM 6
el 15m beams fixed on Asia at 40 and 70 ft.
In back, (just to the left of the first tower) is the crankup. It has a C3
tribander at about 60ft., a 4 el 17 Force 12 at 54 ft. and a 6 el 12m DX
Eng.) at 48 ft.
Intermixed between the 3 big towers is a 4 square 80m vertical array. They
are shortened Force 12 verticals elevated 10ft on a section of Rohn 25.
Each has 4 elevated radials. I use a quarter wave sloper for 160m off one
tower with the top at 95ft. I also have an 80/160 sloping dipole facing SW
off another tower at 95ft.
Things are a little crowded on 2 1/2 acres. The big towers are about 75 ft.
apart on an L shape, but everything works well. I have not tried a multi
single yet, but plan too in the future.
The rigs are a FT1000 MP and a TS 930s. Amps are an Alpha 86 and Alpha 76CA.
I have 5 beverages spread out (across the neighboring 2 1/2 vacant acres)
which run anywhere from 550 to 650 ft.
I have not tried to shunt feed the 2 Saguaro cactus.
CU on the bands.

K3ZO Comments re CQ 160 meter contest.
In order to be different I decided to concentrate on the REF CW
Contest this year, where I had 305 QSOs. Since it didn't start
until 0600 GMT Saturday I played around in the 160 contest some on
Friday night. Conditions were OK but thunderstorms in W4-land made
QRN a bit heavy. The window was pretty well respected and I got
some DX there. I4JMY had a surprisingly strong signal, better than
John, ON4UN. Hard to believe at times that he was in Europe.
I chanced to listen Saturday night at about 0100 and found the band
very quiet and good to Europe, so I stayed for a while. Called a
number of Europeans including some outside the window who were
holding their own with the W's. Then I nestled in a little above
1840 and started running people, and I estimate that one-third of
my callers were Europeans. After playing with antennas I found
that my 80-meter half sloper was a good receiving antenna for them.
Normally that antenna has S9+ line noise on 160 but some rain had
quieted down my principal source of line noise, a 69-kv line about
1-1/2 blocks from the house.
I missed the JA opening both mornings, but did have 4X4NJ call me
for an Asian QSO.
The 79 10-pointers were a pretty good ratio to my 542 total QSO's,
and I thoroughly enjoyed the nine hours I put into this contest.
The rig is a TS-830-S driving a Titan 425 and the antennas are two
half-slopers to the SE and W off 140 feet of Rohn 80 tower, which
also holds 80 and 20 meter monoband Yagis.
Very 73,
Fred Laun, K3ZO
