[CQ-Contest] Team Vertical Video & Photos

[Kenneth Silverman]

We're still having fun "using a few verticals on the beach..."

The following links are to video and photos of the 2010 Team Vertical trip
during the recent CQWWCW.  The video was shot low resolution as not everyone
has access to broadband.  While N6BT's new Bravo verticals did a fantastic
job (and cut installation time by days), you will also appreciate the
creativity of the 160 antenna we installed. Weather and waves prohibited us
from installing 160m vertical in one piece.  After a lot of thought and
computer analysis, we came up with a unique solution:  put the base of the
vertical on the beach, and the rest of the antenna on the elevated deck of
the villa.  While not graceful, the 160 sure worked as N6BT has claimed a
new 160m LP World Record.  We hope you enjoy the videos which review the
antenna & station design.

P.S. in the videos I mention "iron shore" a number of times.  Iron shore is
the limestone rock you see at the edge of the water.
