Subject: TD9IGI / KA9FOX in ARRL SSB
Message-ID: <v0211010aad51810ba405@[206.65.185.18]>
Thanks to everyone who replied to my questions about a simple 160 meter
antenna for my trip to Guatemala. WB2K recommended KU3X's dipoles, and I
went that route. He has many models, but due to real estate restrictions,
I went with the 85ft loaded dipole for $50. Will probably install it as a
sloper off the 70ft tower.
I also mentioned the option of using TG9AJR's Butternut vertical on 160 if
I could find a coil. Leave it to contesters! WZ0V in Minnepolis GAVE me
his 160 Butternut coil! I will be installing it at TG9AJR's place and
leaving it there so we can all get that 160m mult in future SSB contests
(Juan doesn't 'do' CW).
Regarding my question about using the TS-440 to key an amp, two contesters
went so far as to offer to SEND ME their cables! Thanks to KI4HN and
AA4GA. (I took AA4GA up on his offer - Thanks Lee!)
This CQ-CONTEST mailing list is fantastic!! Contesters are such a great
bunch of people.
I will arrive in Guatemala Thursday night, Feb 22 and will be active CW/SSB
as TG/KA9FOX from the home of TG9AJR. Due to circumstances beyond my
control, I will probably not be on for the CQWW 160 SSB contest. For the
ARRL DX SSB contest I will be single-op, all-band, high-power signing
TD9IGI from the QTH of TG9GI. I've never done a single-op all band effort
in a DX contest before (not even from the US) so I expect to learn a lot.
(Especially when Trey kicks my butt from HC8). I'll be back in US Monday
night March 4.
QSL TG/KA9FOX via N9ISN. QSL route for TD9IGI is still undecided. FYI,
N9ISN has taken QSLing over for me for PJ8Z, PJ7/KA9FOX, TG0AA (3/95 only)
and KP4/KA9FOX.
See you SIX BANDS!!!

I'm putting together a list of stations in DC (District of Columbia)
who were on for the ARRL DX contest.
So far I have W3HQU, W3EVB and myself (thanks, Tree!)
If you worked any, please email their calls to me.
Thanks!

Subject: Remember the 160 Meter DX Window
Message-ID: <199602220324.WAA17505 at borg.mindspring.com>
Remember that 1.83 to 1.835 should be kept clear of stateside to stateside
or EU to EU contacts to help us all work some DX in the CQ 160 SSB this
weekend. A92BE will be up as will some of the following 5N0MVE, LU2FD,
PY7ZZ, PY0FF, XV, TA, A71, 9K2, and several ZS's.
I (and a thousand others) will be trying to hear and work them with my wimpy
MULTEE (still don't have up my other 160 antennas lost in the hurricane).
Stand clear of salty language and the window.
Good luck.

If you have any interest in contesting by youth,
you'd better to contact with Bob K3EST or Paul WX9E.

For your info, I had a KT-34XA at 100 feet for over 11 years in Colorado with
multiple 100+ MPH Chinook winds each year. When I took it down, the only
damage I saw was that a few of the plastic capacitor spacers had cracked.
Performance was great (it still holds the USA 10 meter record for the
CQWW SSB) and it was extremely rugged in high winds. With the shortened
linear loaded elements (about 25 feet total length), I felt it was much more
rugged than my 20 meter KLM 5 element monobander.

This message is aimed at the REALLY major-league contesters
out there. (Most of you have been far too quiet here on the
reflector lately! )
What single thing do you do best, and why is it important to
your success?
If I were in your class, what would I appreciate about your
ability or technique? Or in other words, what would another
highly accomplished contester know about your skills that I
miss because I'm just an awed "apprentice"?
(If you're too modest to talk about yourself, apply the question
to the your personal contesting "hero", the guy you vow to beat
this year.)

The February 21, 1996 issue of The Wall Street Journal, p.
A11, discusses Tokto/Takeshima Atoll, which is claimed by
both South Korea (the Republic of Korea) and Japan. It is
sorta half way betwen each, in the Sea of Japan. Do we have
the makings of another multiplier here?
