TopBand: CQ WW CW operation

[Carl K9LA]

CQ WW CW 160m contest ops,

I plan to do a single-band 160m effort for CQ WW CW (November 28 and 29) 
as ZF2LA.

I will be on all night for both nights.  ZF sunset will be 2239 UTC and 
sunrise will be 1143 UTC.  I will look for JA and VK/ZL around ZF sunrise 
on both nights.

For transmit I’ll be using my AL-811 at 600w out to an inverted-vee at 90 
feet.  That seemed to work reasonably well last year for our ZF1A 
multi-single effort.  The receiving antennas will be a Beverage to the 
northeast and EWEs to the NW and SW.

Going to ZF for CQ WW CW was a last minute decision, and because of the 
hard-to-get airline reservations on such short notice we don’t arrive 
until 1PM Friday - that doesn’t leave much time to put out the receiving 
antennas!  Help from my wife Vicky (she’s KB5EAM/ZF2LU) hopefully will 
get this job done for the first night of operation.

I look forward to working as many of you as possible.  QSLs go to K9LA.

Carl K9LA
