[SCCC] N6OX 160 Mtr Antenna for Upcoming Dx-pedition - HELP !

[Richard J. Norton]

I assume you mean the CQWW CW Contest, and not the phone contest,
which occurred last month. ... or do you mean the ARRL 160-meter
contest in December?

I would really like to participate in this test. Do you think Bob
would drive to Honduras, where I will be for the CQWW CW Contest?

73,

Dick, N6AA
