   Final preparations are being made for the lowband operation from
Mongolia.  JT1CO reports the Titanex vertical is installed but not working.
There were no instructions with the antenna & tuner so I suspect something
is not set up properly.  Our first priority is getting the Titanex
operational.  Following that, we'll work on some receive antennas.  I have
supplies for a rotatable loop and a beverage.  We should be QRV on 80 & 160
early in the week of 19 November.  A lot will depend on the weather.
   I will be operating as JT1/K4ZW and not JT1FZW as previously reported.
I'll try to post updates to the Topband Reflector assuming I have access to
the Internet.  You can also try to reach me at  K4ZW@hotmail.com.  Lets hope
for some good conditions!
