Hey guys.  Check out the World Above 50 MHz column in the September QST.  It
describes the K8GP operation with a fairly detailed breakdown of equipment
and antennas.  If you guys think we haul a lot of stuff to the mountain
check these guys out!  One thing that I noticed was for 6 meters they are
using a very similar setup to ours except they have TWO six meter stations,
each with it's own stacked pair of 5 element beams.  They also have two
stations on 2 meters but the antenna setup for each is different.  One has
four 5 element beams and the other has four 12 element beams.  They also
have fixed beams pointing to the NE.  Anyone have a spare small 6 meter beam
I can borrow for the September contest to use as a fixed beam to the NE?
